Resumen:

Mathematical models for atmospheric dispersion are being used in a wide variety of industrial applications. One of the most used Gaussian models is AERMOD, recommended by the US EPA to determine air pollution dispersion in urban and rural areas. AERMOD is used to determine the expected impact on air quality due to the operation of a sugar refinery located in a rural village in central Mexico. Air pollutant emission due to fuel oil and bagasse combustion during the refining process is considered as well as pre-harvest sugarcane burning.
