Ambient
Air Modeling:
Modeling atmospheric air
dispersion employs the use of a computer program to estimate the
concentration of air pollutants dispersed in the atmosphere
that are emitted from sources such as industrial plants. The
results are used to determine whether existing or
proposed industrial facilities are or will be in compliance
with
state and
national regulatory guidelines. In addition, the results may
also
be used to reconstruct past air pollution exposures in surrounding
communities.
Some of our notable ambient air modeling projects include Matamoros,
which involved an air dispersion modeling analysis related to a cluster
of anencephaly and neural tube birth defects that occurred in
Brownsville, Texas during
the years 1989 - 1992; Corpus Christi benzene,
which involved an air dispersion analysis of benzene emissions from a
number of refining and petrochemical facilities located along the
Corpus Christi Industrial Canal; SSFL (Santa Susana Field
Laboratory),
which involved quantifying air emissions from three rocket engine
manufacturing and testing sites located near Los Angeles; and Beverly Hills
High School, which involved a
combination of computer
and physical models to determine pollutant concentrations emitted from various oil field operations and
a power plant in close proximity to
Beverly
Hills High School.
