RELATED ARTICLE: IMPLICATIONS
Air quality models are typically used to predict the fate and transport of air emissions from industrial sources to comply with federal and state regulatory requirements and environmental standards, as well as to determine pollution control requirements. This study compares two common models (ISC and AERMOD), the magnitude differences in ambient air concentrations predicted by the models, and the subsequent human health effects predicted using the results from the two models.
