Air Quality Impact Assessment Modelling
CAMM offers specialist air quality impact assessment modelling services based on the following air pollution transport and dispersion models:
- AERMOD: the current Victorian EPA regulatory plume dispersion model.
- CALPUFF: the most frequently used air quality modelling system for complex sources and geographical applications
- TAPM: CSIROs prognostic meteorological and air pollution modelling system.
- AUSPLUME: the previous Victorian EPA regulatory plume dispersion model.
- AUSTOX: the first Australian model for atmospheric releases of hazardous and toxic chemicals.
- AUSROADS: the first Australian model for assessing the near-road impact of traffic emission sources.
- NUATMOS: a 3-D diagnostic wind field model used in complex terrain applications.
