pollutant dispersal

Less common are line source applications in the field of water pollutant dispersal.

Observations of aerosol from sources of pollution, such as industrial complexes and major cities, will be assimilated into models of pollutant dispersal.

Sediments adsorb water-borne contaminants, provide a habitat for marine organisms, and influence underwater light levels, so both pollutant dispersal and biological production are strongly influenced by their behaviour.

Future plans include addition of a pollutant dispersal model, a health model that indicates distribution of air-quality-related problems, and accessibility of public transportation; it is also funded for use in Belfast, Leicester and London.

Accordingly, it is suggested that the longshore current would have important implications to sedimentation rates and pollutant dispersal in the delta area, with greatest effects possibly occurring in summer and fall when the stratification in the Strait of Georgia is most pronounced.
