Consider a box model for an air shed over a city 1 x 105 m wide with a mixing depth of 1200 m. Winds with no SO2 blow at 4 m/s against one side of the box. SO2 is emitted in the box at a rate of 20 kg/s. If SO2 is considered to be conservative, estimate the steady state concentration in the air shed.
