Description
The basic properties of chlorine were used to determine the dispersion patterns of the
recent Jos explosion. The dynamic aerosols content model was used to affirm the eight
kinds of dispersion patterns discussed in this text. The location of the victims showed
that the dispersion at Jos was either linear or polynomial dispersion. The dispersions
are influenced by atmospheric ventilation, stagnation and recirculation. The last
chlorine gas explosion follows the linear or polynomial dispersion because of the
current state of aerosol loadings in Jos. The aftermath effect of this kind of dispersion
may be more threatening than the initial danger due to the chemical formation of more
dangerous compounds. The atmospheric conditions for the formation of toxic
compound were investigated using twelve years MERRA satellite observation. The
degree of freedom of methane, carbon oxide and ozone was nearly uniform for the past
five years. This means the next five years or more may be threatening for life forms
within the region. The installation of gas tracers within major locations in Jos was
suggested to monitor the formation of dioxins in the atmosphere.
