Which quantity does the ventilation coefficient combine?

  • A.The mixing height multiplied by the mean wind through that depth
  • B.The stability class together with the emission rate of the source being considered within the region concerned
  • C.The wind direction and the terrain
  • D.The concentration observed at the receptor divided by the rate at which the pollutant is being emitted upwind

Answer: A

The ventilation coefficient is the product of the mixing depth and the transport wind, giving a measure of the volume of air available per unit time to dilute the emissions. Low values indicate poor dispersion and are used to issue air quality warnings. It combines the two independent controls in a single index, which is why it is preferred to either alone. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
