Preferred Label : plume;
Detailed label : plume in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : The gaseous and aerosol effluents which are emitted from a chimney and the volume
of space which they occupy (often visible). The shape of the plume and the concentrations
of pollutants in it at various points along the path of the plume are sensitive functions
of the meteorology, local topography and the chemistry which occurs in the plume.
Urban plumes are observed over many urban areas and downwind of these areas in which
a combination of man sources of pollution are concentrated.;
