Receptor  Locations

Referring to the map of Central Campus, the receptors are highlighted in red.  The origin, or (0, 0) point, of the map is located in the lower left-hand corner.   For our purposes, the wind direction is assumed to be from the west; thus, the x-direction points towards the west.  The positive y-direction is normal to the x-direction and points towards the north.  Table 4 lists the coordinates of the twenty receptors, and a breathing height of a human, approximately 1.8 m, was used as the z-coordinate for the effect on human health.
