  "term": "Inversion height",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The altitude at which an atmospheric temperature inversion layer begins, marking the boundary above which the air temperature increases with height instead of decreasing. This stable layer traps pollutants below it, preventing their vertical dispersion and leading to higher concentrations near the ground. The inversion height can vary significantly depending on meteorological conditions and time of day.",
