+ Gases: such as sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, in liquid or solid by the changing of increased pressure or decreased temperature. + Particulates: solid or liquid in the range of size (0.0002 m 500 m) in diameter.
Hazardous air pollution or Air toxics: are those pollutants that are
known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects. Examples: benzene, methylene chloride, dioxin, cadmium, mercury, chromium, and lead compounds.
Acid rain: is atmospheric reaction which exhibits a pH value less than the
normal pH of rainfall (approximately 5.7 when CO2 equilibrium is considered) by sulfur dioxide emissions or possibly nitrogen oxide.
Point sources (stacks) Line sources (roads) Area sources (treatment ponds) Volume sources (buildings) Biogenics
Emissions from industrial stacks are regulated to protect human and environmental health Industrial facilities are required to obtain permits to emit into the atmosphere and to demonstrate their compliance with regulations
About 60% of the emissions are from point sources In the process of applying for permits, dispersion models are generally used to assess the impact of point source emission
Both levels of impact assessment are necessary in order to adequately address the air quality impacts associated with proposed actions.

Use techniques to find Emission factors information, it indicates the accuracy of factor with the level affects decrease (A-> E) and contains several conditions: Calendar year, average speed, temperature, fuel volatility, operating modes. Types and quantities of pollutants that will be released from the project sources, i.e. the emission rates of all pollutants.
Mass balance approach: a mass concentration values. pollutant on the Box-Model approaches: estimate ofbalance of the total airIt is based emissions from all sources for a pollutant in a box. or activity entering the atmosphere mass conservation of a proposed project during the construction and/or operational phase.
The reference frame is Eulerian, i.e. fixed frame, rather than Lagrangrian, i.e. Percentage Project activity the pollutant. The box or (100) reference frame moving with the velocity of emission Inventory information volume may represent a Increase region.= city or The plan area over a city is represented by x, y and z in the Existing emission inventory information In inventory vertical dimension of the air shed.
+ Emission models: to predict emission rate from hazardous waste treatment and disposal sites. The models are based on diffusion theory and emission rates are calculated by determining the mass transfer coefficient of the pollutant. + Dispersion models: estimates of pollutant concentrations at selected locations. These points of location are called receptors, and the network of points is the receptor grid.
Adopt proven mathematical air dispersion models, for example,
VALLEY or ISCST model for stationary sources such as stack emission CALINE4 model for traffic emission (line sources) FDM for construction dust emission

Refer to the interpretation of the significance of anticipated changes related to the proposed project. Comparison of the combined concentration (background and incremental concentrations) of the pollutant and the acceptable or allowable ambient air quality standards of that pollutant. Include publish input, professional judgment, specific effects of the types of air pollution from a proposed project or activity.
Minimize the magnitude of the air quality impacts to bring the pollutants within acceptable level. Revise the design as needed in order to reduce the air pollutants expected to be emitted from the project-activity. The revised project or activity can then be reassessed to determine if the mitigation measures have eliminated or sufficiently minimized the deleterious air quality
