BREEZE AERSCREEN is a air dispersion screening model based on the U.S. EPA AERMOD air quality dispersion model and is compatible with the BREEZE AERMOD modeling system. It will produce estimates of ‘worst-case’ 1-hour concentrations for a single source, without the need for hourly meteorological data. BREEZE AERSCREEN also includes conversion factors to estimate ‘worst-case’ 3-hour, 8-hour, 24-hour, and annual concentrations. These concentration estimates are intended to be equal to or greater than the estimates produced by AERMOD with a fully developed set of meteorological and terrain data, however the degree of conservatism will vary depending on the application.
