Evaluation of Water Treatments on Surfaces to Inhibit Bacterial Spore Resuspension
(JOURNAL) [Published : Apr 11, 2024]
(JOURNAL) [Published : Apr 11, 2024]
The impact of water and the wet-dry cycle was examined as a potential mitigation solution to pathogenic bacterial spore transport and inhalation risk via resuspension of spores from surfaces due to human activities. The natural occurrence of wet-dry cycles and the ease of applica...

Limiting Wind-Induced Resuspension of Radioactively Contaminated Particles to Enhance First Responder, Early Phase Worker and Public Safety—Part 1
(JOURNAL) [Published : Feb 26, 2022]
(JOURNAL) [Published : Feb 26, 2022]
An accidental radiological release or the operation of a radiological dispersal device (RDD) may lead to the contamination of a large area. Such scenarios may lead to health and safety risks associated with the resuspension of contaminated particles due to aeolian (wind-induced) ...

Simulations of dispersion through an irregular urban building array
(JOURNAL) [Published : Aug 01, 2021]
(JOURNAL) [Published : Aug 01, 2021]
While some fast-response dispersion models can capture the effects of individual buildings, research is required to further refine urban characterizations, especially within the presence of a nonhomogeneous array of structures. This project leverages the configuration of building...

Dispersion Modeling Systems Relevant to Homeland Security Preparedness and Response
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Oct 21, 2020]
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Oct 21, 2020]
Atmospheric dispersion modeling is one tool that can be used for effective emergency preparation or response from hazardous chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNe) releases, especially in urban areas where population densities are high and wind flow bec...
Urban Wind Field Analysis from the Jack Rabbit II Special Sonic Anemometer Study
(JOURNAL) [Published : Dec 15, 2020]
(JOURNAL) [Published : Dec 15, 2020]
The Jack Rabbit II Special Sonic Anemometer Study (JRII-S), a field project designed to examine the flow and turbulence within a systematically arranged mock-urban environment constructed from CONEX shipping containers, is described in detail. The study involved the deployment of...

A comparison of building effects simulations in different atmospheric dispersion models with detailed sonic measurements from the Jack Rabbit II field experiment
(PRESENTATION) [Presented : Sep 24, 2019]
(PRESENTATION) [Presented : Sep 24, 2019]
Atmospheric dispersion models have frequently been used around complex industrial sites or in urban areas where building effects are predominant. Urban structures tend to considerably modify the local flow, potentially impacting concentrations from hazardous releases. These dispe...
Radiological Emergency: Exposure Assessment of Livestock Carcass Management
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Jun 06, 2019]
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Jun 06, 2019]
The potential exposures and exposure pathways were compared for various options to support decision-making in the event of a radiological emergency to provide an in-depth evaluation based on understanding of ionizing radiation and radiation exposure, conceptual models of potentia...
