Question 1.
Define the Gaussian Dispersion Model.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how air pollution spreads from sources.
Question 2.
What are contour maps used for?
Show hintHide hint
Consider 'isopleths' as lines of equal value.
3Question 3.
What is the Gaussian Dispersion Model primarily used for?
- To measure sound levels
- To predict pollutant dispersion
- To calculate population density
Show hintHide hint
Focus on air pollutants.
4Question 4.
True or False: Contour maps can represent geographic areas of even concentrations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how maps represent topography.
Question 5.
Using the Gaussian model, calculate the estimated concentration of sulfur dioxide from a stack at different distances (50m, 500m) under varying stability classes (C and D).
Show hintHide hint
Refer to the stability class chart for sigma values.
Question 6.
Describe how you would model a scenario where two factories are emitting pollutants simultaneously next to a residential area. What factors would you consider?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on applying the superposition principle of dispersion.
