Ambient contaminant concentration downwind of a hazardous waste incinerator. The CB District Health Authority has asked you to evaluate the following scenario: The STP A is proposing to build a HW incinerator at Victoria Junction near CBU. Engineers at the STP Agency estimate (based on combustion technology and composition of the waste) that the incinerator will emit: • l.0 g/sec. benzo(a)pyrene - carcinogen, and • 0.01 g/sec of methyl mercury- a non-carcinogen • from an average effective height of 200.0 m. What are the concentrations (µg/m3 or ηg/m3 ) of both benzo(a)pyrene and methyl mercury during the following meteorological conditions and location: At 12:00 noon on a sunny summer day with the surface wind at 4.0 m/sec, in a human inhabited area. Coordinates of CBU in relation to the incinerator stack: • l kilometers downwind • 500.0 meters off the centerline • at elevation 2.0 m?
