A plume is a visible smoke-like structure, which may contain
pollutants emitted from an exhaust or smoke stack and released into the
atmosphere. This elongated band of smoke has changing characteristics that vary
with its local environmental conditions. These conditions may include the
physical and chemical nature of the pollutant, weather conditions and downwind
topography.
