Toxics Guidance

Guidance for Dispersion Modeling in Urban Areas
Guidance Documentation
Dispersion Modeling of Toxic Pollutants in Urban Areas and Appendices (PDF)(288 pp, 10 M, 1999) - EPA-454/R-99-021

Application Documentation
Example Application of Modeling Toxic Air Pollutants in Urban Areas (PDF)(111 pp, 5.6 M, 2002) - EPA-452/R-02-003

Also available from NTIS (PB# PB2002-108218). In preparing this document, it was necessary to revise and update the techniques described in Dispersion Modeling of Toxics Pollutants in Urban Areas (ZIP)(261 K) and incorporate techniques developed in A Simplified Approach for Estimating Secondary Production of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS) Using the OZIPR Model (PDF).(78 pp, 3 M, 1999)
