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>''Atmospheric Environment'', Volume 29, Issue 22, November 1995, page 3397, Elsevier B.V., reviewed by James P.
