Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVirtual Assessment of air Pollution Dispersion from Anthropogenic Sudden ExplosionMarvel Lola Akinyemi, Moses Eterigho Emetere, Mojisola Rachel UsikaluThe control of air pollutants from anthropogenic sources seems almost impossible due to numerous influencing factors present in the atmosphere. In this study, we carried out a virtual mathematical experimentation using Math CAD, Mat lab and analytical approximation to estimate the dimensional impact of initial pollutant plume cloud from a sudden volcanic blast and the dynamics of its wind field. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2016 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLagrangian Micromixing Models for Concentration Fluctuations: An OverviewPaolo Monti, Giovanni Leuzzi, Andrea AmicarelliThis study presents a brief overview of the main features, theoretical formulations and validation tests of some Lagrangian micromixing models, currently used for estimations of the ensemble mean and the turbulent fluctuations of concentration. Their application fields regards several pollutant dispersion phenomena such as: accidents (power or production plants, terroristic attacks, hydrocarbons storage and transport, extraordinary emissions), odours (power plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Validation of a 2D Finite Element Model for Air Pollution Dispersion (SUITE-2D)Youssef Ismail HafezThis paper presents the development and validation of SUITE-2D (Solving Unsteady Incompressible Transport Equation in Two Dimensions), a two-dimensional finite element model for solving the advection-diffusion transport equation with decay and source terms. The model provides an efficient and accurate approach for simulating pollutant dispersion in environmental systems. The finite element formulation uses the standard Galerkin method, with numerical integration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2025 · 3,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGaussian Dispersion Model to Estimate the Dispersion of Particulate Matters (Pm2.5) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentrations on Tribal Land, OklahomaDejene Alemayehu, Francine HackettAir quality in most parts of Kay County is good and unlikely to cause major health problems. However, Kaw Nation wants to know if the concentration of Particulate matters (PM2.5) and Sulfur dioxide (SO2) released from power plants, refinery and carbon black plant in Oklahoma reaches the Tribal land at Kanza Travel Plaza, Braman, Kay Co. Oklahoma. Kanza Travel Plaza … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 8 Dec 2015 · 7,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticulate Matter in the Excavation Work Sites in Urban AreasGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoProblem statement: Excavation work sites in urban areas for infrastructures and buildings cause a great deal of disturbance and damage due to the emission of particulate matter, in particular in the area involved in urban renovation work. Under Italian legislation limits currently exist for PM10 and PM2, 5 but, in the case of excavation work sites, it would be also … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 23 Dec 2011 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRAM 1.0 Software for Gaussian-Plume Multiple Source Air Quality SimulationLiren Yu, Paulo I.F. de AlmeidaThis study presents a developed software in environmental engineering, namely RAM 1.0 (RAM: Regulatory Air Model), adopted completely Graphical User Interface (GUI) technique, for operating in various Windows-based microcomputers. RAM 1.0 software consists of the improved RAM Model and RAM Algorithm as well as developed RAM 1.0 Graphical User Interface, respectively. RAM Model takes into account different ambient characteristics, meteorological … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMapping, Characterization and Dispersion of Metallic Pollutants within a Catchment of Illegal Gold Mining Activities in GhanaWiafe Samuel, Richard Buamah, Helen Essandoh, Lawrence DarkwahThe illegal gold mining activities prevalent in most part of Ghana have caused substantial havoc to the environment especially water bodies which serve as sources of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) recently shut down their water treatment plant due to the extreme pollution and high cost of treatment. This study focusses on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2018 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Gaussian Plume Model against CFD Simulations through the Estimation of CO and NO Concentrations in an Urban AreaMahmoud BadyDispersion of air pollutants, Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen oxide (NO), due to three point sources and a high-density traffic road in an urban area located near the center of Tokyo, Japan was studied using two different approaches. The first is an analytical approach using Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) while the second is a numerical approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
