The present work briefly details the theoretical aspects of numerical methods for the simulation of turbulent transport and dispersion of gases into the atmospheric boundary layer. Later, we show some laboratory experiments of plume dispersion emitted from contaminant sources and the results of the computational simulation tool in comparison with laboratory simulations. Finally, we present a simulation of a hypothetical delocalisation of an open dump close to the city of Paraná in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. The results shown include gas concentrations, as well as their geographical distribution from a downwind source, under the most unfavorable meteorological situation.
