A stack emitting 55 g/s of SO2 has an effective stack height of 150 m. The windspeed is 4 m/s at 10 m above ground and 5 m/s at the effective smokestack height. It is a cloudy summer day. Estimate the ground-level SO2 concentration directly downwind at a distance of 2 kilometers. Note: Strong insolation refers to a clear summer day, moderate refers to a summer day with few broken clouds, slight refers to a fall afternoon or a cloudy summer day.

A stack emitting 55 g/s of SO2 has an effective stack height of 150 m. The windspeed is 4 m/s at 10 m above ground and 5 m/s at the effective smokestack height. It is a cloudy summer day. Estimate the ground-level SO2 concentration directly downwind at a distance of 2 kilometers.

Note: Strong insolation refers to a clear summer day, moderate refers to a summer day with few broken clouds, slight refers to a fall afternoon or a cloudy summer day.
