    Abstract

    By means of the available data of a detailed study over 14 months of the Sb-pollution around a nonferrous metal industry it was possible to demonstrate that: local onsite meteorological observations are preferable if atmospheric dispersion modelling has to be done in impact assessment studies; acceptable agreement between calculated and measured concentration and deposition values in monitoring sites at different distances from the source can be achieved by means of a simple bi-Gaussian dispersion model using the source depletion approach; that major uncertainties still exist as to the physics and the real meaning of the measurement as well as the calculation of deposition and resuspension.-from Authors
