Dispersion modeling of particulate matter from the in-situ burning of spilled oil in the northwest Arctic area of Canada

Author(s): Wang Z; An C; Lee K; Owens E; Boufadel M; Feng Q;

In-situ burning can be used to prevent oil spreading in oil spill response. In this study, a steady-state Gaussian plume model was applied to analyze the concentration distribution of fine particulate matter produced by in-situ burning, as well as to assess the health risks associated with different combustion methods and ambient conditions, in reference ...
