Move over, please.

What air pollution model can be of help to me in the study of socio-economic impact of air pollution on the immediate environment of a pig farm? Thanks for everything.

Barry's Response - Dinakachukwu:

An interesting question. Socio-Economic impact? I don't know if there are any off-the-shelf models to deal with something as specialized as that. For the air quality impact, explore the SCRAM website belonging the US government Environmenal Protection Agency (EPA), download one of the ISC-PRIME airmodels and learn how to use it.

For air quality impacts of a large source such as a pig farm, I would be inclined to use an area source. The challanging part might be obtaining the meteorological data you need.
