The Nuclear Accident Model (NAME) - Developed by the United Kingdom's Meteorological Office, the NAME model is part of the contingency plans in the event of accidental releases of radioactivity into the atmosphere: to provide early warning for the guidance of emergency services; and to predict concentrations, depositions and dosages of radionuclides as input to impact assessments.
 
U.S. EPA's Air Quality Modeling Group - The Group is responsible for leadership on the full range of the EPA's air dispersion models. It also serves as the focal point on modeling techniques for other EPA headquarters staff, Regional Offices, and State and local agencies. The names, email addresses and functions of all the key personnel in the Group are provided.
 
U.S. EPA's Support Center for Regulatory Air Models - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses this site to provide information on the many dispersion models supporting regulatory programs required by U.S. law. All of the EPA's dispersion models and their Users' Manuals can be downloaded cost-free from here. An online forum is also provided for discussion/questions/answers on all aspects of the EPA's models.
 
U.S. National Park Service Air Resources Division - Two organizations in the national government, the Air Resources Division of the National Park Service (NPS) and the Air Quality Branch of the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), work jointly to protect and improve air quality in national park areas. This web site lists the names, job functions and email addresses of key people in the two organizations, including those involved with air dispersion modeling.
 
UCR Air Quality Modeling Group - The mechanical engineering department of the University of California at Riverside (UCR) has an air quality modeling group performing research in the development and application of small-scale dispersion models, as well as the development of simplified and comprehensive photochemical models.
 
UK Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) - "LAQM.TG3, Selection and Use of Dispersion Models" is one of the comprehensive Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) guidance documents published by the United Kingdom's DETR. This 67 page document can be read at this site or, by clicking on the LAQM index link, it can be selected for downloading in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
 
Workbook on Atmospheric Dispersion Estimates - The revised second edition of D. Bruce Turner's book provides an understanding of dispersion modeling as currently practiced. The book and accompanying diskette explain: how to determine the impact of air pollution sources; the effects of wind, turbulence and plume rise; and Gaussian dispersion and its limitations.
