Tools and Processes for Environmental Impact Prediction in the Philippines: Using Predictive Modeling for Pollutant Dispersion from Construction Activities
Tools and Processes for Environmental Impact Prediction in the Philippines: Using Predictive Modeling for Pollutant Dispersion from Construction Activities Introduction: Environmental impact prediction is a critical aspect of sustainable development, especially in a country like the Philippines, which places a strong emphasis on ecological preservation. This report focuses on the tools and processes employed for predicting environmental impacts, specifically the dispersion of pollutants resulting from construction activities. Process: Using Predictive Modeling for Pollutant Dispersion: The predictive modeling process involves utilizing mathematical models to forecast the dispersion of pollutants into the environment. In the context of construction activities, this method aids in understanding and quantifying the potential impact of airborne pollutants on the atmosphere. Tools: Air Dispersion Models (e.g., AERMOD): Air dispersion models, such as the widely-used AERMOD (Atmosphe...
