1. 1.

   What is a dispersion model?

   Hint

   Think about how we track air pollution.

2. 2.

   Name one major regulatory model discussed.

   Hint

   Recall the model we just talked about.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of dispersion models?

   • Calculate construction costs
   • Predict pollutant spread
   • Measure air quality directly

   Hint

   Think about their application in environmental science.

4. 4.

   AERMOD is used for which purpose?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall our discussion on regulatory frameworks.

5. 5.

   Given a scenario with multiple industrial sources in a city, devise a monitoring plan using both AERMOD and ISC3, considering available data.

   Hint

   Consider the strengths of each model in terms of data inputs.

6. 6.

   Critically evaluate the applicability of Gaussian dispersion models in predicting pollutant distribution in a highly urbanized area.

   Hint

   Reflect on real-life case studies to support your evaluation.
