The Air Pollution Model (TAPM) is a PC-based, nestable, prognostic meteorological and air pollution model (with photochemistry) driven by a graphical user interface, and is a viable tool for year-long simulations (Hurley et al., 2005). Zawar-Reza et al. (2005) compared the meteorology and PM10 dispersion results from TAPM modeling and an air pollution monitoring station for Christchurch, New Zealand. Statistical measures between modeled and measured data indicate that the model performs well
