Answer 1

5. here are the factors influencing migration of aerosols plumes

wind - Pathogens are most likely to be dispersed as aerosols plumes. High wind speeds carry these agents over more extensive areas.

Atmospheric stability :Atmospheric stability influences the movement of aerosols plumes. A steady environment leads to the the most prominent cloud concentration and great area extetion.

Terrain: Unpleasant territory makes wind turbulence, and turbulence impacts the vertical dissemination of aerosols plumes. This turbulence decreases effectiveness ofaerosols plumes. Territory influences way and concentration of aerosols plumes.

weather conditions: adverse weather conditions limits the ectention of aerosols plumes.

there are some other factors influencing migration of aerosols plumes are height of release, day temperature, vertical and lateral mixing
