Abstract:
This paper presents a simulator that analyzes the impacts of the pollutants emission of a new industry insertion on a specific region (in our studies, at Rio Grande City – Brazil). This simulation calculates the pollutants concentration in the atmosphere, using CALPUFF non-stationary Gaussian model integrated to GIS. The goals are to assist people and responsible entities in the evaluation and air quality control.
