This NIOSH Safety and Health Topic website describes various aspects of indoor environmental quality. Most of this topic page is devoted to indoor air quality.
A brief explanation of the pollutants and their sources as outlined in the Clean Air Act, provided by the EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.
Precipitation scavenging can effectively remove particulates from the atmosphere. Interest in the phenomena waxed in the 1980s, but models developed at that time remain limited by the lack of both...

regulating hazardous...
This paper describes parallelization of a 3-D Lagrangian stochastic atmospheric dispersion model using both distributed- and shared-memory methods. Shared-memory parallelism is implemented through...
Flow in urban environments is complicated by the presence of buildings, which divert the flow into often unexpected directions. Contaminants released at ground level
are easily lofted above tall (~...
