In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive solution aimed at enhancing our understanding of three-dimensional atmospheric pollutant dispersion. This innovative solution involves the development of a generalized model that extends previous research and is applicable to all parameterization schemes of these equations, including wind speed profiles and turbulent diffusion coefficients, while incorporating the dry deposition criterion. Our methodology involves subdividing the atmospheric boundary layer into distinct sub-layers, which facilitates a detailed examination of pollutant dispersion dynamics. Extensive validation with data from the Hanford experiment has demonstrated the accuracy of this solution in simulating pollutant concentrations. The results demonstrate that there is a strong correlation between the projected and observed concentrations, underscoring the statistical reliability of our approach. This validation situates the statistical indices of our solution within an acceptable range, confirming its accuracy in predicting atmospheric pollutant dispersion. These findings thus establish our solution as a valid and effective method for studying complex environmental phenomena.
