Abstract: It is generally required that the concentration of a certain pollutant at any given point ( x, y ) shall be below a maximum amount defined by a known function S ( x, y ). In this paper we analyze different ways of relating the emission rates of polluters with the resultant concentration Q ( x, y ) by means of various transfer functions. We discuss the analytical properties of the transfer functions which can be derived from various well-known diffusion models. We also discuss a simple instance of optimization models of a type, introduced by Gorr and Kortanek (1970).
