While the AERMOD is extensively used in the US
and Europe, in Thailand the reliability of the simulation
results, particularly the trajectory of NO
emission by
the AERMOD, is still in debate. The reason is that the
2
AERMOD has been developed and optimized based on the
climatic and geological conditions in the US and Europe.
This current work applied the AERMOD to analyze NO
emissions from a selected cement complex consisting of
four plants with a combined production representing 43%
of total capacity in the country.
