'''Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion''' is a book devoted to the basic fundamentals of [[air pollution dispersion modeling]] of continuous, [[Air pollution dispersion terminology|buoyant pollution plumes]] from [[Air pollution dispersion terminology|stationary point sources]]. The first edition was published in 1979. The current fourth edition was published in 2005.
It is notable for including the step-by-step derivation of every equation presented in the book without using any highly advanced mathematics.
==Subjects covered in the book==
The subjects covered in the book include [[Air pollution dispersion terminology|atmospheric turbulence]] and [[Air pollution dispersion terminology|stability classes]], [[Air pollution dispersion modeling|buoyant pollution plume rise], [[Air pollution dispersion modeling|Gaussian dispersion modeling]], time-averaged concentrations, wind velocity profiles, fumigations, trapped plumes and [[gas flare]] stack plumes. All of the many constraints and assumptions involved in the basic equations are fully explained.
The book includes a good many example calculations. More information, including the complete table of contents, is available on the Internet.<ref>[http://www.air-dispersion.com The publisher's website]</ref>
==Where the book is used==
The book is used in universities, large industrial companies, engineering and construction companies, consulting companies as well as individual consultants, and regulatory agencies in about 60 countries worldwide.<ref>[http://www.air-dispersion.com/Interest.html  Website page "Interest"] (A list of countries with copies of the book.)</ref>
