Abstract:The state-of-the-art is surveyed in air pollution modelling with particular emphasis on the modeling of dispersion from transportation sources. Models which have actually been implemented are stressed and the computational aspects of these models are treated in detail. Applications are discussed and validations are critically assessed. It was found that Gaussian and conservation of mass models are currently the most widely used tools for analyzing the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. Models presently in operation are run on medium to large-scale computers of the IBM 360/50 class or greater and are mostly programmed in FORTRAN iv. Although existing models have been applied to a wide variety of air pollution problems, their performance has not been adequately evaluated.
