Hi! I’m really sorry about the time that it took me to get to this answer, but this is completely new to me — in all aspects.

For those not in the subject: the exposure analysis is basically the analysis that environmentalists will do to assess which is the impact that changes into a specific environment will have. The modeling of dusts and winds is important, since it explains basically how gas emissions will impact the atmospheric composition, and different gasses behave differently. A plume is a column of gas moving into another, but this also can be applied to liquids (everything under the “fluid” behavior). And a Gaussian plume is one that behaves under the Gaussian probability distribution: it assumes it has an uniform chance of getting distributed in certain areas while others not that much.

For what I’ve been reading, most of the time the emission rates (or “how much of the gas is put into the environment”) would be the primary input to your algorithms, since the usual effects that you’re trying to measure in the exposure analysis are the result of that. If you don’t have them, the probable best approach is to iterate through different simulations with minimum up to the maximum and compare how different numbers affect the results. You’ll likely find that the impact is not so much with low emission rates, but there’ll be a specific number that makes the tipping point into what’s not acceptable anymore.

Into how these are simulated, I honestly have no idea, but this is what I could find with searching simulation software that seem to support the Gaussian plume distribution model.

adibreakingit, I received your question on crystals and chemical compounds, I'm currently investigating as to provide an answer. Seems like it's not a straightforward answer so there's some interesting info to dig up there!

thepoeticsofsex, I just got your question on dust models. I'll get to it soon but it'll take some more time for me to investigate, I hope you're fine with that.

gargle some warm salt water, it’ll hurt but it’ll help.

omg that sounds horrible. the classes aren't going to be any better though.

it's terrible

i dunno what you expected. from here on out its all boring training meetings and death by powerpoint.

point

i didn't expect to be given a book like "here read this and do nothing else for the next three days" like

Its a pay check until you find something better.

because MONEY

you all take my complaining so seriously
