Question: A small municipal solid waste ( MSW ) combustor is proposing a modification to increase its capacity to allow processing of 2 6 5 tons

A small municipal solid waste (MSW) combustor is proposing a modification to increase its capacity to allow processing of 265 tons/day of MSW. Emissions are expected to be 3.56 lb PM2.5 per ton of MSW processed. The facility is located in a rural area that is 2.0 km east and 250 m north of a playground. a.(15 points) Estimate the expected concentration of PM2.5(in g/m3) on the playground play structure (at 3.0 m height) under an easterly wind of 4.6 m/s (measured at 10 m) on an overcast day. Assume an effective stack height of 75 m. b.(3 points) Compare this concentration to the potentially relevant regulatory limits and breifly discuss potential implications for control.
