Summary: | Forensic engineering methods might be applied in detection and identification characterisation of events according to complexity of their appearance in real environment as it covers different aspects (data, materials, chemistry, monitoring systems, technology) needed to find out the cause and predict effects. The long-distance air pollutant transport represents one challenging event for the analysis over years; specific phenomena are Saharan air masses that can transport high amounts of mineral dust particles and biological material. The dynamism of the systems in real environment, inevitably, includes time frame and spatial referencing, on location of event. However, this is directly related to providing findings and opinions when appealing to a forensic examination of an event. An example of long-distance transport of air pollutants with references to related processes in the atmosphere including time frame and spatial references is presented in the paper with discussion that is aligned with the goals of forensic engineering. |
