Case 11: Puff with instantaneous point source at ground level, coordinates
fixed at release point, constant wind only in x direction with constant
velocity u
Case 12: Plume with continuous steady-state source at ground level and
wind moving in x direction at constant velocity u

Release Mitigation
The purpose of the toxic release model is to provide a tool
for performing release mitigation.
ERPG-2 :is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed nearly
all individuals could be exposed for up 1 hour without experiencing or developing
irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms that could impair their
abilities to take protective action.
a. The time required for the centre of the cloud to reach the residential
area. Assume a wind speed of 2 m/s.
The stability conditions are selected to maximize (C) in Equation 5-41. This
requires dispersion coefficients of minimum value. From Figure 5-12 the
lowest value of either dispersion coefficient occurs with F stability
conditions. This is for night time conditions with thin to light overcast and a
wind speed less than 3 m/s. The maximum concentration in the puff also
occurs at the closest point to the release in the residential area.
Any individuals within the immediate residential area and any personnel
within the plant will be excessively exposed if they are outside and
downwind from the source.
The concentration along the centreline of the plume directly downwind is given at y
= z = 0:
