Determine the emission rate of SOx (ton/day) from a rural ground level source if the 2000m downwind concentration is 6.0μg/m^3. The wind velocity of 2m/s and the Pasquill stability is Class C
20.27 Consider a stack that emits a nonreactive pollutant at the rate of 55 g/s. The stack is 85 m tall, and is located in a rural area, surrounded for many miles by open pasture land. The plume rise is 35 m. The sky is cloudy on a November afternoon, and the wind speed (measured at 10 m height) is 6.0 m/s. (a) Esti- mate the downwind, centerline, ground-level concentration at a downwind distance of 5000 meters from this stack. Give your answer in µg/m³. (b) Also, estimate the ground-level concentra- tion at a cross-wind distance of 200 m, but still at the same downwind distance of 5000 m. Give your answer in µg/m³.
