¥Air pollution dispersion is often studied with simple models, termed Box Models.
How is a box defined for the LA basin?
¥Ventilation factor is a simple way of relating concentrations of pollutants to parameters
that modulate the dispersion of pollutants in a local
environments.
¥An increase in either the mixing
height or the wind speed increases the effective
volume in which pollutants are allowed to mix.
¥The larger the volume, the lower the pollution concentration.
