Question 1.
What does Sigma Y represent?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how pollutants spread horizontally.
Question 2.
What is the significance of wind speed in dispersion modeling?
Show hintHide hint
Consider its role in air movement.
3Question 3.
What does Sigma Y measure in dispersion modeling?
- Vertical dispersion
- Lateral dispersion
- Both
Show hintHide hint
Think about the direction in which Sigma Y operates.
4Question 4.
True or False: Atmospheric stability classes have no effect on Sigma Y and Sigma Z.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how atmospheric conditions generally impact dispersion.
Question 5.
A factory emits pollutants with a known emission rate of 100 kg/hr at a height of 30 meters. Given the average wind speed at this height is 5 m/s and the atmospheric conditions are stable (Class D), calculate Sigma Y and Sigma Z.

Remember to use the stability class chart as a guide!
Question 6.
You are tasked with designing an environmental study to measure pollutant dispersion around an urban area. Outline the steps you would take to ensure accurate wind speed and stability measurements.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how you might categorize different environmental conditions affecting your measurements.
