Plume
Rise
(Briggs,
1972)
• Plume
rise
depends
on
momentum
and
buoyancy.
The
buoyancy
assumed
in
this
analysis
is
due
to
the
temperature
of
the
stack
gases
being
higher
than
the
surrounding
ambient.

What
is
Risk?
• Hazard
is
the
potential
of
an
entity
(or
activity)
to
cause
harm
to
nature,
property,
or
people.
= βa x Kah x I
where,
βa =
“potency”
of
the
pollutant
for
inhalation
in
(µg/kg-‐day)-‐1
Kah =
a
conversion
factor
expressing
the
ratio
of
the
risk
to
a
human
to
the
corresponding
risk
to
an
animal
based
on
inhalation
toxicity
I
=
a
factor

risk

potency
Understanding
Risk
Factors
• EPA
Reference
Dose:
Maximum
daily
acceptable
oral
dose
of
a
toxic
substance,
smaller
numbers
mean
a
pollutant
is
more
toxic
• Carcinogenic
Potency
factor
or
Carcinogenic
Slope
Factor:
a
way
to
measure
the
safe
dose
of
a
toxin.
The
EPA
says
that
this
chemical
is
safe
to
this
dose
with
a
95th percentile
of
certainty.
Higher
numbers
are
safer.

Potency
Factor
• At
low
doses,
where
the
dose-‐response
curve
is
assumed
to
be
linear,
the
slope
of
the
dose-‐
response
curve
is
called
the
potency
factor.
• Potency
factors
can
be
found
in
an
EPA
database
on
toxic
substances
called
the
Integrated
Risk
Information
System
(IRIS).
