3Question 3.
What is an emission factor?
- Amount of pollutant per mile
- Amount of pollutant per unit activity
- Amount of pollutant in water
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
Is the mixing height always the same for different pollutants?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider why smoke and water vapor rise differently.
Question 5.
Calculate the mixing height for a pollutant released at various temperatures using real data for environmental and adiabatic lapse rates. Discuss how varying temperatures would affect the results.
Show hintHide hint
Use the graphical methods we practiced in class.
