IIBR
is active in numerous aspects of air pollution meteorology
including: sampling, meteorological measurements, modeling
and risk assessment. IIBR environmental and occupational
testing is supported by state-of-the-art equipment and
qualified personnel certified by the USEPA and authorized
by the Israel Ministry of Labor.
The mobile, integrated IIBR meteorological system includes
tethered balloons capable of measuring wind, temperature
and humidity at high sampling frequency at various heights
all simultaneously.
The operating team is able to take measurements at different
locations (e.g., over the sea, urban areas, mountainous
terrain) with various in-house software packages and several
options for storing and transferring data.
Incorporating its vast experience in working with atmospheric
gaseous and particulate tracers (dispersal, sampling and
analysis), IIBR conducts indoor and outdoor field simulations
of atmospheric pollutant transport.
Computerized models (e.g., MM5 or IIBR mesoscale models)
forecast the flow regime and pollutant concentration in
complex terrain and urban areas as well as under extreme
conditions such as very low winds.
Based on its expertise in these fields, IIBR also performs
assessments of environmental risk resulting from possible
malfunctions in industrial processes, including the production,
transport and storage of hazardous materials. These analyses
employ the PRA (Probabilistic Risk Analysis) approach
as well as HAZOP (Hazard Operability Studies) and HAZAN
(Hazard Analysis) techniques. |
