1.Air Pollutant modeling in the atmosphere
❖ Point Sources
❖ Line Sources
• e.g., Vehicles(car, motorcycle, airplane etc)
❖ Area Sources
❖ Volume Sources
• Basic Equation
Pop*Activity*Emissions = tons/day

1.Air Pollutant modeling in the atmosphere
Pollutant transport
Temperature
Humidity
➢ If the air parcels tend to sink back to their initial level after
the lifting exerted on them stops, the atmosphere is stable.
➢ If the air parcels tend to remain where they are after lifting
stops, the atmosphere is neutral.

CALPUFF View
➢ Its a non-steady state Gaussian puff model,
➢ AUSTAL View is a
Lagrangian particle tracer
model. Widely used in
Germany,
➢ AUSTAL is capable of
modeling complex wind
fields and transient behavior.
