The subjects covered in the book include atmospheric [[turbulence]] and [[Air pollution dispersion terminology|stability classes]], buoyant plume rise, Gaussian dispersion calculations and modeling, time-averaged concentrations, wind velocity profiles, fumigations, trapped plumes and [[gas flare]] stack plumes. The constraints and assumptions involved in the basic equations are fully explained.

The book has received favorable reviews, including a description of its "simple straightforward explanations" for a "full course in single-source dispersive modeling".<ref>''{{cite journal |journal=Atmospheric Environment'', Volume |volume=29, Issue |issue=22, |date=November 1995, |page =3397, Elsevier B.V., reviewed by |first=James P. |last=Lodge. {{DOI|doi=10.1016/1352-2310(95)90214-7 |title=Fundamentals of stack gas dispersion: by Milton R.
