“…U.S. EPA prefers to use AERMOD [8], atmospheric dispersion modeling system is an integrated system that consists of three modules [9]: steady-state short-range dispersion model of air pollutant emissions, meteorological data preprocessor (AERMET), and terrain preprocessor (AERMAP). In research [10] AERMOD was used for evaluation of the concentrations resulting from the simulation and to make comparisons with allowable levels according to current law. In [11] AERMOD was used for management of building construction because dust and emissions from destruction and construction activities (such as PM10 and PM2.5) can worsen the quality of air which can harm to health and impact upon life quality.…”

Nowadays, the problems of the impact of pollutants’ emissions from industrial facilities, which include energy facilities, are attracting more and more attention in the world. Different international and governmental organizations issue decrees and recommendations on pollutants emission reduction. This, in turn, requires technologies and tools to assess the impact of current facilities, develop recommendations for them to reduce the emissions, and perform evaluation of impact for planned facilities. This article discusses a proposed technology for impact assessment of energy facilities on region’s environment, methods that are used by this technology. Also, architecture and main components of the scientific prototype of intelligent decision-making support system to support this technology are provided and results of approbation are shown.

“…Santos in the modeling of atmospheric pollutants with AERMOD software, found that in thermal power plants, all indicators except NO 2 are much lower than the standard. On the other hand, due to the biological accumulation process, these pollutants can affect the health of the local population, animals, and plants [14].…”

Due to the different types of pollution they put out, putting automotive factories in cities can hurt the air quality in those cities. The aim of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effects of the Saipa automobile industry and two surrounding highways on air quality. This study used Mehrabad meteorological station data for 2019 along with emission rates and topographical data to model the gaseous pollutants released from automobile factories and linear sources using AERMOD software. Field measurements of NO2 pollution by passive adsorbents confirmed the accuracy of the results with a 0.99 correlation, and the same average of two communities of modele and observed concentration. The Lashkari highway has the maximum yearly NO2 concentration of 1209 parts per billion at 515326.80 and 3953279.17 meters, 23 times the NAAQS, The Lashkari freeway had the greatest CO concentration, 12.6 parts per million, at 515326.80 and 3953279.17 meters, 1.4 times the NAAQS. Highway passengers are exposed to NO2 and CO levels above the NAAQS, demonstrating the need for highway and traffic law reform.

“…AERMOD has been used extensively for the spatial dispersion of different pollutants originating from domestic landfills [15,16], a large industrial complex [17,18], and cities and counties [19][20][21]. Air pollutants' dispersion in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) may be described by a Gaussian equation, which refers to steady state dispersion of air pollutants emitted by a continuous pollution source, such as a plume:…”

Dispersion Effects of Particulate Lead (Pb) from the Stack of a Lead Battery Recycling Plant

et al. 2020

The contribution of emissions from the stack of a lead battery recycling plant to atmospheric lead concentrations and, eventually, to the topsoil of the surrounding area, were studied. A Gaussian dispersion model, of the American Meteorological Society/United States Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model, (AERMOD) was used to determine atmospheric total suspended particulate lead dispersion, which originated from stack emissions, over the wider study area. Stack emission parameters were obtained from online measurements of the industry control sensors. AERMOD simulated two scenarios for four calendar years, 2015 to 2018, one for the typical stack measured operating conditions and one for the legal limit operating conditions (emissions from the stack set by legislation to 0.5 mg m−3). Deposition fluxes modeled the input of atmospheric total suspended particulate Pb to the topsoil of the area. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses were used to determine lead concentrations in the topsoil. The modeling results were compared with topsoil of six inhabited locations downwind from the stack in the direction of the prevailing winds to estimate the influence of lead deposition on topsoil near the industrial area.
