Abstract:Air quality is a major concern for the public; therefore, the reliability of models in predicting the air quality accurately is of a major interest. The objective of this study was to develop an air dispersion model and demonstrate that it can be successfully used in place of or in conjunction with ambient air monitoring stations in determining the local Air Quality Index (AQI). This thesis begins with a review of existing atmospheric dispersion models, specifically, the Gaussian Plume models and their capabil… Show more
