CalPuff model

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to use the CALPUFF modeling system to predict the concentrations of CO, NO, and COj released, due to the traffic, from the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) facility at its location in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. These pollutants were selected as the indicator since they were the most dominant products of vehicle emissions. The study focused on investigating the dispersion of CO, NO and COj by considering the SQU as an area source. The results from the CALPUFF model clearly demonstrated that the levels of the three targeted pollutants, emitted from the vehicles, were found to significantly exceed the allowable limits defined by regulated standards.

In atmospheric pollution the impact of point source (e.g., a chimney stock) or a continuous source in an area (e.g. industrial area or urban motorway) is usually modeled. Different models exist based on different mathematical assumptions. Many, such as AERMOD, CALPUFF, BLP, CALINE3, are developed or accepted for use by the US EPA and more information can be found at US EPA Web site [55]. The current technology allows environmental modeling based on physicomathematical processing of mass flux in the diffusion and dispersion of pollutants that can migrate from emission sources to the environment, both in the air near the ground and in the atmosphere, in general.
