AIRMAP applications include:

• Hindcast/forecast of release into atmosphere
• Evaluate human health risk
  
• Contingency and response planning (e.g., for security related to accidental or intentional releases)
  
• Evaluation of discharges from fixed or moving point sources
• Drills and education
  

Features:

• Contains ASA's own GIS
  
• Compatible with 3rd party GIS software (e.g., ArcView®)
  
• Easily interpreted visual display of temporally and spatially varying concentrations, not just contour plots
  
• Plot concentration with time for any point in the domain, or maximum concentration as a function of time
  

AIRMAP simulates:

• Moving or stationary sources
  
• Time-varying source fluxes
  
• Release over land or water
  
• Transport and dispersion
  
• Evaporation and volatilization
• Degradation

AIRMAP output includes:

• Concentrations as a function of time, position and height
  
• Time weighted average concentrations (Immediate Danger to Life or Health (IDLH) and Time Weighted Average TWA), for example) for comparison to human health criteria
  
• Hazard Quotients, such as (PEC/PNEC).

Chemical and Environmental Databases

• Chemical Database - includes important data on the physical and chemical properties of common chemical compounds. Users can add new compounds from scratch or create modified versions of compounds already within the database.
  
• Environmental Database - includes topography, coastline, and ecological habitat information.
  
• MSDS Database - ChemWatch, Chemical Management System's comprehensive Health and Safety information database, is linked directly to the Chemical Database
