Investigation of the Effect of Particulate Emissions From Steel Complex on Adjacent Urban Areas Using Source and Receptor Modeling Approaches
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Torkian, Ayoob (Supervisor)
Abstract
Expansion of city boundaries as a result of increased population has reduced the distance from industrial complexes and health effects of industrial air pollution have been intensified. As such, studies are needed to determine appropriate methodologies for quantifying the effect of these industries on the concentration of air pollutants in urban areas. In this study, particulate emissions from a steel mill complex was modeled using ADMS4 and the predicted results were compared with actual measurements made in the adjacent urban area. A receptor model (CMB8.2) was also used to quantify the share of the steel mill on the heavy metals' concentrations in the city by considering other sources...
