  "definition": "1. A mathematical prediction of how pollutants from a discharge or emission source will be distributed in the surrounding environment under given conditions of wind, temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors.\n\n2. A computerized set of equations that uses emissions and meteorological data to simulate how air pollutants behave and move in the air. A dispersion model estimates outdoor concentrations of individual air pollutants at chosen locations (called receptors).",
