Key Points

The aim is to evaluate how pollutant-specific parameters affect air quality simulations using HYSPLIT model.
Used the HYSPLIT model to simulate atmospheric dispersion of pollutants.
Specified pollutant-specific parameters, including reactivity and deposition rates.
Evaluated air concentrations within 250 km of the pollutant source.
Found significant variation in air concentrations based on the specified parameters.
Demonstrated that reactivity and deposition rates markedly influence dispersion outcomes.

Abstract

The HYSPLIT model, developed and maintained by the NOAA OAR Air Resources Laboratory, is a widely used atmospheric transport and dispersion model. The user can specify optional pollutant specific parameters for reactivity, dry deposition, and wet deposition. This report describes an evaluation of pollutant-specific parameters used with HYSPLIT, including their impact on simulated downwind air concentrations within 250 km of the source.
