They say "a picture is worth a thousand words." If so, what is a life-size smokestack that safely demonstrates the dispersion of toxic air pollutants worth? From personal experience I know that learning the concepts of air-pollution dispersion for the first time can be quite challenging, The qualitative portions of instruction are not so hard to grasp, but the quantitative, formulaic parts can be down right intimidating, Thus, to facilitate student learning (and faculty teaching), I have constructed The SuperStack-a 13-foot tall, uniform 4-inch ID artificial smokestack that realistically and safely demonstrates the dispersion of atmospheric contaminants using paper hole-punches to represent pollution particles.
