An Implementation Plan for Suspended Particulate Matter in the Phoenix Area. Volume III. Model Simulation of Total Suspended Particulate Matter.

摘要

Control strategies were developed for total suspended particulates in the Phoenix area. The data base and methodology developed for Phoenix have been extended into a general technical support document for application to areas with fugitive dust problems. This report is the third of four technical support documents prepared for the project. Controls were established after several iterations of air quality forecasts which were necessary in order to attain standards. Section 1introduces the study and summarizes the major results and conclusions. Section 2discusses the choice of model. Section 3identifies factors affecting the representiveness of the emissions and air quality data base,and discusses how the bias in the data base might be eliminated. Section 4details the model parameterization procedure,including assignment of empirical coefficients for each of the monitor sites. Section 5presents the modeling results for 1975and 1985.
