Particulate matter dispersion and haze occurrence potential studies at a local palm oil mill.
The emissions from palm oil industry through incineration and open burning are the major sources of air pollutions contribution in Malaysia. The consequence of increasing the particulate concentration, the particulate matter dissolves with vapour and grows into droplets when the humidity exceeds a...

| description | The emissions from palm oil industry through incineration and open burning are the major sources of air
pollutions contribution in Malaysia. The consequence of increasing the particulate concentration, the particulate
matter dissolves with vapour and grows into droplets when the humidity exceeds approximately 70% and causing
opaque situation known as haze. This work focuses on the dispersion particulate matter from palm oil mill. Gaussian
Plume Model from a point source, subject to various atmospheric conditions is used to calculate particulate matter
concentration then display the distribution of plume dispersion using geographic information system. Atmospheric
Stability, mixing height, wind direction, wind speed, natural and artificial features play an important role in dispersion
process. Study on the dispersion of particulate matters and the haze potential are presented as a case study in this
paper. The data obtained will be served as the purpose of modeling the transport of particulate matter for obtaining
permits and prevention of significant deterioration to the environment. |
