Abstract

The distribution of atmospheric concentrations of dioxins, as well as their depositions, were estimated by using the fate model. The model was applied to the entire Kanto region (including the Tokyo metropolitan area) of Japan. The area has more than 30 million inhabitants and more than 200 incineration plants. An analytical domain with a scale of 276 x 224 km was discretized into 40 x 60 grids with about 5-km increments.
