Area Sources

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-002078

Sources of air pollution that, by themselves, generally have lower emissions than “major sources” of air pollution (like factories). Area sources can include smaller facilities, such as gas stations, or widespread sources like smoke from home fireplaces. In air quality modeling, area sources are those modeled in two dimensions (with length and width), as compared to point sources modeled at a single point location.
