Abstract | An empirical diffusion equation is used with an estimated inventory of SO2 emissions for Nashville, Tennessee, to compute monthly mean SO2 concentrations. Results are compared with patterns of concentrations obtained from a network of lead peroxide candle measurements. Reasonable agreement is found between computed and observed values; topographic effects are also indicated. Relative monthly emission rates deduced from the comparisons are used to show the effect of space heating requirements. |
