| Abstract |
Predictions of the emissions of airborne total viable particle (TVP) concentrations from sewage are of concern due to possible adverse human health effects. Two types of modelling approaches were explored: dispersion modelling such as the Gaussian plume dispersion model and statistical modelling. Until a better method is found for estimating the ambient total viable decay rate and defining background concentrations, the Gaussian plume dispersion modelling technique does not appear to provide a more useful approach for estimating TVP concentrations downwind from an activated sludge sewage treatment plant than does downwind from an activated sludge sewage treatment plant than does statistical modelling. |
