Abstract:
In the last years, the problem of the control of the toxic emissions has become of great scientific interest due to the continuous increase of all types of pollutants released into the atmosphere, and because, as it has been proved, the existence of fine particles suspended in atmosphere has a negative impact on the human health. In this context, the meteorological parameters have an extremely important role in evaluating the dispersion of pollutants in various city areas. This paper focuses on the evaluation of the dispersion of the pollutants emitted by Pro Air Clean Ecologic Timisoara incinerator based on meteorological specific conditions and their impact on urban background pollutants concentrations in the city of Timisoara. The transport process of the pollutants was investigated numerically with the CloseView software, using as input data the concentration and the chemical properties of the components detected experimentally at the combustion chimney, the height of the chimney, and the specific meteorological conditions: air pressure and humidity, the velocity and the direction of the wind, for a geometry specific to the city map of Timisoara. This analysis provides relevant information on the distribution of the pollutants and reveals the most exposed zones of the city.
