Development of an Air Force Air Quality Assessment Model (AQAM)

Abstract

The U. S. Air Force is developing a computerized Air Quality Assessment Model (AQAM) to better analyze the environmental impact of airbase operations. While most emphasis is placed on improving the accuracy of treating aircraft operations, nearly any municipal or industrial emission source can be analyzed. Emission calculations are performed within the model so that only detailed source activity information must be input. Ambient air quality can be predicted for hourly, daily, monthly, or annual averaging times of up to ten pollutants. This report describes the general capabilities and structure of the AQAM.
