COMPARISON OF SHORT TERM CONCENTRATION OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE (SO2) , AND Suspended particulate matter (SPM) PM POLLUTION FROM A POINT SOURCE USING DIFFERENT PLUME RISE FORMULAE

Abstract

Two plume rise formulae viz. Briggs equation and Holland equation has been computed to estimate the short term concentration of SO2 and SPM from a bolier stack. It has been found that the formulae shows a wide variation in the short term concentration. Whereas, Holland equation under estimates the plume rise and hence gives high values of short term concentration.
