Concentration Units (ppm, mg/m

Converting Atmospheric Pollutant Concentrations : from mg/m to ppmv
The conversion factor depends on the temperature at which you want the conversion (usually about 20 to 25 degrees Centigrade). At an ambient pressure of 1 atmosphere, the general equation is:
ppmv = (mg/m
where: ppmv
mg/m
MW ppm by volume (i.e., volume of gaseous pollutant per 10 volumes of ambient air) milligrams of gaseous pollutant per cubic meter of ambient air molecular weight of the gaseous pollutant ambient air temperature in degrees Centigrade
As an example, for gaseous pollutant NOx, convert 20 mg/m ppmv = (20)(273.15 + 25) / (12.187)(46.01) = 10.6 where: 46.01 = molecular weight of NO (i.e., NOx expressed as nitrogen dioxide) NOTES: (2) 1 percent by volume = 10,000 ppmv (i.e., parts per million by volume). (3) For all practical purposes, degrees Centigrade and degrees Celsius are synonymous.

Error Propagation in Air Dispersion Modeling
Milton R. Beychok, Consulting Engineer, Newport Beach, California Air dispersion modeling has been evolving since before the 1930s. Over the last 15-25 years, strict environmental regulations and the availability of personal computers have fueled an immense growth in the use of mathematical models to predict the dispersion of air pollution plumes. Beychok's recently published book, " Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion ", details the evolution of the widely used Gaussian air dispersion models and their inherent assumptions and constraints. Unfortunately, many users of such models are completely unaware of those assumptions and constraints and mistakenly believe that the precision achievable with computers equates to accuracy. This article discusses how the propagation of seemingly small errors in the Gaussian model parameters can cause very large variations in the model's predictions. In most dispersion models, determining the pollutant concentrations at ground-level receptors beneath an elevated, buoyant plume of dispersing pollutant-containing gas involves two major steps:

Air Dispersion Modeling C ond ucting the Accident Analyses Via Dispersion Modeling for Risk Management Plans Required by EPA - Sullivan Environmental performed accident analysis modeling for a mining operation, several drinking water and waste-water facilities within a township, and modeling of chemical manufacturing facilities. T he analyses were done using the RiskManPro model developed by Sullivan Environmental that produces the emission estimates, source characteristics (including source temperature), and resulted in the modeling of outdoor air quality and expected ranges in indoor air quality at selected locations around each facility. In most cases, the analysis involved hypothetical accident scenarios for pressurized tanks, such as for liquid chlorine, ammonia, etc. D ispersion Modeling Experts for Development of State Implementation Plan for particulate (PM10 ) impacts in Allegheny Coutny, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) - Sullivan Environmental was retained by Allegheny County, Pennsylvania as air quality experts to assist their staff in the preparation of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) to control particulate emissions from coke oven operations. The industrial facility that was a key component of this SIP was located in complex terrain, with maximum impacts occurring on a nearby hillside. Support provided by Sullivan Environmental included conducted field studies on meteorological conditions in the region, the expansion of meteorological monitoring capability along the valley floor, and the development of software to integrate two EPA dispersion models in order to properly account for the substantial lift of the plumes from coke oven operations. The SIP was approved by EPA based on the model-based analysis conducted by the County.

What are my facility's air quality impacts? Air dispersion models are tools to assess impacts from air pollution sources. Why are these tools important? Air permit applicants must show that potential air quality impacts will not exceed specific health thresholds. If used before pollution sources are actually built, air dispersion models can be more advantageous than air monitoring. What makes BlueScape stand out?
  • We have extensive experience using air dispersion modeling tools preferred by USEPA, state and local agencies for air quality impact evaluation.
  • We understand how to properly apply the models and recommend technical refinements to reduce calculated impacts.
  • We have solid working relationships with various agency staff that review dispersion modeling studies.
  • We use high-quality software and graphical tools such as ARCVIEW to provide clear, accurate visual representation of air quality impacts.
BlueScape will help you present a detailed, technical explanation of your project's air quality impacts to regulatory agencies and the public.

http://www.softwright.com/adm.html
Air Dispersion Modeling SoftWright is pleased to assist you in providing topographic elevation data that can be supplied to popular air dispersion modeling software. Typically, a study in a region is first done by identifying a specific location and evaluating out to a distance of approximately 50 km from that location with receptor grid spacing at a course setting such as 1000 meters. When the impact area has been located, the study is rerun in a smaller area with the receptor grid spacing tightened up to more accurately display the level of contamination in the impact area. This type of iterative process is repeated over smaller geographic areas and with tighter receptor grid spacing until contaminant levels are ascertained. In addition to software necessary to do this modeling, generally two other things are required if terrain data is necessary for your model. First of all you must acquire DEMs for the geographic region where you need to perform the study. These can be supplied in several resolutions and numerous file formats . Many of the air dispersion modeling software packages do not read the DEMs directly, but rely on an intermediate software package to create an ASCII data file containing the actual input information for the air dispersion modeling software. These files typically contain details calculated from input provided by you about the area for your study and receptor spacing.

Air Dispersion Modeling
What is air dispersion modeling?
  • An air dispersion model is a set of mathematical equations that relates the release of air pollutants from emission sources to the corresponding concentration of pollutants in the ambient air.
Why must an industry perform air dispersion modeling?
  • Air dispersion modeling is one of the methods that may be used to show compliance with South Carolina Air Pollution Control Regulation 62.5, Standards no. 2, 3.1, 7, and 8.
  • The Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations require major new construction to demonstrate that they will not cause a violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
  • 40 CFR Section 51.110(k)(2) requires individual states to determine at least every 5 years if their State Implementation Plan (SIP) is adequate to meet the NAAQS in all areas of the state.
In terms of the permitting process, which facilities are required to submit air dispersion modeling?
  • Most construction permits, including Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permits.

Air Dispersion Modeling
Air quality dispersion modeling is a computer simulation that predicts air quality concentrations from various types of emission sources. For pollutants emitted through a stack, it considers the emission rate, stack height, stack diameter, and stack gas temperature and velocity, as well as the effect of nearby buildings and terrain. Other emission sources like vehicle traffic or wind erosion from storage piles are represented as 2-dimensional area sources or 3-dimensional volume sources. DISPERSE Program Modeling Guidance Meteorological Data PSD Minor Source Baseline Dates ... Additional Resources Air quality dispersion models use meteorological data such as temperature, wind direction, and wind speed to calculate concentrations. Five years of National Weather Service meteorological data is typically used for air quality modeling required by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Land Managers (FLMs), and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In some cases one year of onsite meteorological data is used. Model results are often compared to benchmark levels such as ambient standards to determine if they meet state and federal requirements. Sometimes results are used to help site ambient monitors or they may be input into health risk assessments or ecological risk assessments.
