CALPUFF View - Source Contributions
When analyzing air quality impacts from pollution sources, it may be important to understand which sources or groups of sources are contributing the most to the cumulative impact of all sources. Some air dispersion models have simple routines for grouping sources or analyzing individual source contributions, but it can be a challenge in some systems.

IRAP-h View - Identifying Risk Receptors
When conducting a human health risk assessment according to the U.S. EPA-OSW Human Health Risk Assessment Protocol (HHRAP), Chapter 4 of the protocol provides direction on evaluating ‘exposure scenarios’ in order to estimate the type and magnitude of human exposure to emissions from compounds of potential concern (COPC). These ‘exposure scenarios’ include adult and child farmers, residents, and fishers.routines for grouping sources or analyzing individual source contributions, but it can be a challenge in some systems.

CALPUFF View - Choosing Pollutants
Last month, we reviewed AERMOD’s pollutant type selection which is natively limited to a single pollutant per model run. The CALPUFF model, on the other hand, is capable of modeling multiple pollutants at a time and includes chemical transformations.
