Assessment of pollutant emissions from various sources
- Rostov State Univ., Krasnodar (Russian Federation); and others
The spreading of conservative pollutants (CPs) in the atmosphere or waters has been modeled using a variety of approaches. These linear or nonlinear models assume that CPs spread by air or water flows and take into account CP dissipation and dispersion. Patterns of CP spreading ensue from air and water flow patterns and the action of gravity. The behavior of CPs contacting interfacial boundaries depends on the interface properties and ranges from a complete deposition to complete or partial rejection followed by further spreading. The models conventionally deal with localized sources of CPs. However, real sources of CPs in industrial regions are dispersed (territories of factories, streets with intense traffic, or other sources occupying particular areas). 5 refs., 2 figs.
