Title: Multi-source atmospheric transport model for deposition of trace contaminants

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4346583

A computer model was developed to predict the deposition rates within a watershed of toxic materials emitted from different types of sources. At present, the following source categories are included in the model: point (steam plant or incinerator), area (city or industrial development), line (auto, rail, or air traffic), and particulate resuspension (windblown mine tailings). The dispersal of pollutants from each of these sources is described in terms of the Gaussian plume model, modified to account for source depletion due to fallout and washout. (auth)
