In a square city with length =15 km during the evening rush hour traffic there are 200,000 cars on the road. Each being driven 30 km between 4 pm and 6 pm and each emitting 3 g/km of carbon monoxide (CO). It is a clear winter evening with radiation inversion (very stable atmospheric conditions in which dispersion of pollutant is inhibited) which restricts mixing depth to 20 m.
