Atmospheric dispersion refers to the movement of pollutants, contaminants, or other airborne substances in the atmosphere as a result of natural or human activities. This research area focuses on understanding how particles, gases, or aerosols disperse and spread in the atmosphere, affecting air quality and potentially posing health risks to humans and ecosystems. Researchers in this field study various factors that influence the dispersion of pollutants, such as wind patterns, topography, temperature inversions, and atmospheric stability. By analyzing these factors, scientists can develop models and strategies to mitigate the impacts of atmospheric dispersion on air quality and public health.
