A stack emits \( 60 \) g/s and produces a maximum ground level concentration of \( 180 \) micrograms per cubic metre. Halving the emission gives

  • A.45 micrograms per cubic metre
  • B.360 micrograms per cubic metre
  • C.90 micrograms per cubic metre
  • D.180 micrograms per cubic metre

Answer: C

Correct answer: 90 micrograms per cubic metre

Ground-level concentration is directly proportional to the emission rate, everything else being unchanged - the dispersion is the same whatever the plume carries. So halving \(Q\) halves the concentration:

\[ 180 \times \tfrac{1}{2} = 90\ \mu\text{g/m}^3 \]
