Air Quality Modeling
Presentations from the 2014 Region 4 Regulatory Modelers Workshop Conference November 3-6, 2014 are now available!
The 2014 Region 4 Regulatory Modelers Workshop was held at the Atlanta Federal Center on November 3-6, 2014.
Air dispersion modeling involves using numerical techniques based on physical principles to simulate the dispersion of natural and man-made pollutant emissions in space and time. Pollutant concentrations in the air can then be estimated. These computer software applications are used by decision makers to determine the effect of air pollution on the surrounding ambient air. The model results are used for air quality planning, air toxics exposure and risk studies, evaluating the placement of air quality monitors, permitting, and demonstrating attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
