Most of links and references use that term and the existing title is offputting in its length :)...hope to hear from others on thisAnlace18:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As the primary author of the article, I disagree with you slightly. Having worked in the air dispersion modeling field for over 30 years, I am aware that it is often referred to as "air dispersion modeling" and as "atmospheric dispersion modeling". However, I have never seen the field referred to as "air dispersal modeling".
The reason for choosing the the current title when I contributed the article is simply that I felt it was more precise. The article is not about dispersion of the air nor about dispersion of the atmosphere. Rather it is about dispersion of air pollutants in the atmospheric air ... and therefore the current title is more precise.
I should point out that I also created the following pages all of which redirect the reader to the page as it is now titled:
Atmospheric dispersion modeling
Atmospheric dispersion modelling (for British Commonwealth readers)
Air dispersion modeling
Air dispersion modelling (for British Commonwealth readers)
Air quality modeling
Air quality modelling (for British Commonwealth readers)
Dispersion modeling
Dispersion modelling (for British Commonwealth readers)
Air Dispersion
Atmospheric Dispersion
If you really believe that the above list is inadequate, I would be happy to create another redirected page entitled "Air dispersal modeling". However, I strongly believe that the current title of the primary page is the most correct and most precise one. - mbeychok00:42, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
