Question 1.
What is ground level concentration?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the air quality measurements.
Question 2.
Define emission factor.
Show hintHide hint
Consider it a rate.
3Question 3.
What does ground level concentration refer to?
- Quality of air at higher altitudes
- Pollution levels at ground level
- Measurement of greenhouse gases
Show hintHide hint
Think about where people breathe.
4Question 4.
Emission factors are important for:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Why is consistency important in measuring emissions?
Question 5.
Consider an industrial plant emits 100 kilograms of a pollutant per hour. If the emission factor for similar plants is noted as 2 kg pollutant/unit operation, how many operational units is the plant running?
Show hintHide hint
Dividing total emissions by the emission factor will give you the number of units.
Question 6.
How would the presence of an unexpected leak in a pipeline affect the ground level concentration calculations for nearby communities?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what makes a measurement valid.
