Abstract

The Hybrid Particle and Concentration Transport model (HYPACT) with Lagrangian option and the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) was applied to simulate PM10 dispersion emitted from main sources in mineral products industrial area (MPIA) in Saraburi during PM10 episodes 2005. Comparison of model results with observations showed that the simulated concentrations were in reasonable agreement with observations. The model results revealed dispersion of PM10 and peak concentration area. Additionally, it was found that these sources impacted mainly on local area.
