A Gaussian plume estimates how a gas or vapor release disperses downwind. Stability class (A unstable to F stable) sets how fast the plume spreads. The dashed line is the protective action distance where concentration falls below your action level. Screening estimate only — use ERG and monitors on scene.

Governing equation

C (x, y) = \frac{50}{2 π 4 σ _{y} σ _{z}} exp (- \frac{y ^{2}}{2 σ _{y}^{2}})

Reading this result: Concentration falls off as the wind stretches and vertical mixing thins the plume — stronger wind and less stable air pull the protective distance in toward the source.

Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment sorts mass-casualty patients in under 60 seconds each using RPM: Respirations, Perfusion, Mental status. Training reference only — follow your agency protocol and medical direction.

Triage criterion

RR = 24 \leq 30 \Rightarrow not RED by RR

Reading this result: RPM checks pass (RR 24/min, perfusion adequate, follows commands), so the patient is DELAYED (YELLOW).
