: Dispersed activities such as agricultural fertilizer use (releasing ammonia) and the use of household products (VOCs). Natural Sources : These include volcanic eruptions ( SO2cap S cap O sub 2 and ash), wildfires (smoke and PMcap P cap M ), and biological decay ( CH4cap C cap H sub 4 3. Dispersion Factors It is determined by several critical environmental factors:
: Large-scale industrial facilities, power plants, and refineries release significant amounts of SO2cap S cap O sub 2 and heavy metals like lead. Dispersion Factors : Large-scale industrial facilities
Air pollutants are categorized by how they enter the atmosphere:
: These are emitted directly from an identifiable source. Examples include Carbon Monoxide (CO) from vehicle exhaust, Sulfur Dioxide ( SO2cap S cap O sub 2
Dispersion refers to how pollutants spread and dilute in the atmosphere. It is determined by several critical environmental factors: Air Pollution and Your Health
