Description

ADMS 4 is a dispersion model used to model the air quality impact of existing and proposed industrial installations. Current and future air quality can be assessed with respect to the air quality standards such as the EU Air Quality Directive, UK Air Quality Strategy, US National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), Chinese Class I, II and III and WHO guidelines.

Typical applications include:

* permitting/IPPC authorisations,

* stack height determination,

* odour modelling,

* environmental impact assessments and

* safety and emergency planning.
