  2. List of atmospheric dispersion models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atmospheric...

    It is a Gaussian line source model which includes an analytical solution for the chemical cycle NO-O 3-NO 2. CAR-International (The Netherlands) – Calculation of air pollution from road traffic (CAR-International) is an atmospheric dispersion model developed by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research. It is used for ...

  3. Biofilter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilter

    A biofilter is a bed of media on which microorganisms attach and grow to form a biological layer called biofilm. Biofiltration is thus usually referred to as a fixed–film process. Generally, the biofilm is formed by a community of different microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc.), macro-organisms (protozoa, worms, insect's larvae, etc ...

  4. Atmospheric dispersion modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_dispersion...

    Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration of air ...

  5. Nitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide

    Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO2. One of several nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas. It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C 2v point group symmetry. Industrially, NO2 is an intermediate in the synthesis of nitric acid, millions of tons of which are produced each year, primarily for the ...

    The Lagrangian model then calculates the air pollution dispersion by computing the statistics of the trajectories of a large number of the pollution plume parcels. A Lagrangian model uses a moving frame of reference [6] as the parcels move from their initial location. It is said that an observer of a Lagrangian model follows along with the plume.

  7. Root nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_nodule

    Root nodule. A simplified diagram of the relation between the plant and the symbiotic bacteria (cyan) in the root nodules. Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. [1] Under nitrogen -limiting conditions, capable plants form a symbiotic relationship with a host ...

  8. Ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

    Ozone (/ ˈoʊzoʊn /) (or trioxygen) is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O. 3. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O. 2, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to O.

  9. Nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle

    The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation ...
