Abstract
In order to allow its use for problems of accidental pollution at industrial sites, this code has been adapted on micro-computer. It can thus be operated directly by industries on the actual sites of the potentially polluting plants. The operating procedure is conversational, and has been designed with particular care, the computational times also being optimised. The computation results are supplied rapidly on the screen, so that the appropriate alert can be given, allowing the downstream users to take action before the pollutant arrives.
