Current with the EPA's 40 CFR Part 51, this book serves as a complete reference to both the science and contemporary practice of air dispersion modeling. Throughout the book, author Alex De Visscher guides readers through complex calculations, equation by equation, helping them understand precisely how air dispersion models work, including such popular models as the EPA's AERMOD and 606 $aAir$xPollution$xSimulation methods 606 $aAtmospheric diffusion$xSimulation methods 615 0$aAir$xPollution$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aAtmospheric diffusion$xSimulation methods. 676 $a628.53011 686 $aTEC010000$2bisacsh 700 $aDe Visscher$b Alex$0988794 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910142148903321 996 $aAir dispersion modeling$92261255 997 $aUNINA
