One unique feature of AERSCREEN is the ability to calculate fumigation effects due to inversion break-up and coastal boundaries for point sources at least 10 meters in height. When fumigation is enabled, the model finds hours with stable meteorological conditions and low wind speeds and implements concentration equations found in the AERSCREEN User’s Guide. ...
The AEZ was set at 25 feet in all directions for ground pesticide applications when sprayed from a height greater than 12 inches, and 100 feet in all directions for outdoor aerial, air blast, air-propelled, fumigant, smoke, mist, and fog pesticide applications.
