Record 2 1985-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Modelling of short-range [(less than] 100 km distance) transport, dispersion and deposition of pollutants is a well-developed science ... Long-range transport models (over distances of the order of 1000 km) have only been developed in the last 10 years and this is still a rapidly developing science.

CONT

A large external input of sulfur compounds may combine with minor local sources yielding a combined deposition which is predominantly of external origin, and on determining this fact it would be assumed that the local acid rain problem is due principally to long range transport.
