A power plant continuously emits SO2. Later, an atmospheric inversion lowers the mixing height while other conditions stay the same. How does the ground-level concentration at a fixed downwind point change?
- 1Decreases due to reduced vertical dispersion
- 2Remains unchanged since emission rate is constant
- 3Increases due to vertical confinement of plume✓
- 4Initially decreases then increases due to plume reflection
