The AERMOD model, developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is an advanced tool for modeling air pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere. This model is particularly designed for assessing air quality in urban and rural areas, and near pollution sources such as industrial sites. AERMOD utilizes various modules, including AERMET for processing meteorological data, AERMAP for processing terrain data, and BPIPPRIME for modeling the effects of buildings on pollutant dispersion. The applications of this model include compliance with environmental regulations, environmental impact assessment, health risk prediction, urban planning, and industrial site location. Although AERMOD is a highly powerful tool, it has limitations, including the need for accurate meteorological data, low precision in modeling complex topographic areas, and difficulties in simulating non-continuous pollutant emissions. Despite these challenges, AERMOD remains an essential tool for air quality analysis in environmental and public health projects, owing to its high accuracy in both stable and unstable atmospheric conditions.
