Air Pollution Modeling (level 3)

Back to Air Quality training

Course Description:
Air pollution modeling involves estimating air pollutant concentrations and simulating how they form and move through the atmosphere. Several types of models are commonly used by regulatory and land management agencies, including dispersion, photochemical, and receptor models. These models are used to help support regulatory and policy decisions that have very real consequences for air quality and natural resource management.

In addition to discussing how modeling is used in air permitting and NEPA processes, instructors will also provide a brief overview of the science that informs air pollution models. This course will not provide participants with direct experience running computer-based models, but will instead focus on reviewing and interpreting modeling reports and associated information. Applicants will complete a pre-course assignment in order to be eligible for the course.

Topics include:



Prerequisites: (or equivalent training/experience)



Note: This is a Level 3 course and requires prior training in air quality. If you have questions regarding your eligibility or the pre-requisites for the course, please contact Christal Black, Program Coordinator, Sr. Christal.Black@nau.edu or phone 928-523-8410.
