主 题:AERMOD environmental impact assessment Gaussian model air pollutants NO2 cement plant
摘 要:We applied the model of American Meteorological Society-Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model(AERMOD) as a tool for the analysis of nitrogen dioxide(NO2) emissions from a cement complex as a part of the environmental impact *** dispersion of NO2 from four cement plants within the selected cement complex were investigated both by measurement and AERMOD simulation in dry and wet *** values of NO2 emissions were compared with those obtained during a 7-day continuous measurement campaign at 12 *** was predicted that NO2 concentration peaks were found more within 1 to 5 km,where the measurement and simulation were in good agreement,than at the receptors 5 km further away from the reference *** QuantileQuantile plots of NO2 concentrations in dry season were mostly fitted to the middle line compared to those in wet *** can be attributed to high NO2 wet *** results show that for both the measurement and the simulation using the AERMOD,NO2 concentrations do not exceed the NO2 concentration limit set by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards(NAAQS) of *** indicates that NO2 emissions from the cement complex have no significant impact on nearby *** can be concluded that the AERMOD can provide useful information to identify high pollution impact areas for the EIA guidelines.
