Under the Egyptian Pollution Abatement program (EPAP) financial and technical assistance was provided to non-compliant industries in Egypt. Many of the investments made led to reduction to air emissions especially in industrial sectors such as cement. Fertilizer and chemical. In order to estimate the benefits of emission reduction, EMC was commissioned to carry out air dispersion modelling and estimate ground level concentrations of various pollutants under different scenarios. EMC used AERMOD to carry out a modelling exercise and came up with various emission control strategies to meet the regulatory standards. In addition, training was imparted to the staff of Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) and AERMOD software was installed for future use.
