Incinerator Dispersion Model

Berea College - KY, Kentucky

As part of a service learning course in environmental studies students created a model determining the dispersion of dioxin and other particulates in the local area from a proposed incinerator for a nerve gas stockpile. Students also spoke at forums to educate the town about the incinerator and held an on-campus symposium on the issue.
