Course Details
- µg/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter): A common unit for particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and other airborne pollutants.
- ppm (parts per million): Used for gaseous pollutants like ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
- ppb (parts per billion): A smaller unit than ppm, often used for trace gases or highly toxic pollutants.
- mg/m³ (milligrams per cubic meter): Another unit for airborne pollutants, sometimes used interchangeably with µg/m³ but representing a larger mass.
- kg/ha (kilograms per hectare): Used to express deposition of pollutants on land surfaces.
- days/year (or %) exceeding a standard: Indicates the number of days in a year when a certain pollutant concentration exceeds a regulatory limit.
- AQI (Air Quality Index): A dimensionless index that combines several pollutants into a single number to represent overall air quality.
- Wind speed (m/s or km/h): Crucial for dispersion modeling and understanding pollutant transport.
- Wind direction (degrees): Essential for understanding the source and spread of air pollution.
- Temperature (°C or °F): Impacts pollutant formation and dispersion.
