Abstract
The effect of a temperature inversion (at z = H ∗ ) above the effective stack height (at z = H) is studied for continuously emitting infinite line and point source configurations under the condition of constant wind velocity. The conservation of mass equation is solved by the method of Laplace transforms, handling the emission source as a finite source which is ultimately allowed to approach zero size. The effect of the inversion on ground level concentration is presented in the form of a dimensionless plot with the parameter H/H ∗ assuming various values. This graph shows that the groundline concentration under such conditions is always greater than that during a non-inversion period. The effect of the inversion becomes negligible when H < 0.6 H ∗ .
