ABSTRACT
This communication intends to share the authors' experience on the modelling of atmospheric pollutant dispersion and the importance of building downwash considerations when assessing the need to increase the height of stacks of small and medium sized industrial facilities (SME's). In section 2 the existing Portuguese legislation on air quality and the stack height rules are briefly commented. Section 3 characterizes Portuguese industry in terms of ambient quality problems related to stack height. In section 4 the authors' experience in the study of stack height is presented. Finally, the need for an increased awareness on the pollutant dispersion problem is discussed.
