Comparative Validation of Multiple Point Industrial Source Complex-Short-Term Period (MPC-SPR) and ISCST3 Models in Neyveli Air Basin

摘要

MOEF requires the industry to prepare environmental statement for assessing impact that existing or proposed industry may have on environment. An important consideration in the preparation of an impact statement is the anticipated effect by the proposed activity will have on air quality since industry is a source of major air pollutants. Methods have been developed to predict the air quality impact of an industry through the use of mathematic atmospheric diffusion models. One such a widely used model is Gaussian Dispersing model. Once they are properly validated then they can be used to predict the air quality at any industrial locations. This study has been devoted to develop a Multiple Gaussian diffusion model named as MPC-SPR model and validate the model at Neyveli air basin were large thermal power stations are situated.
