Stack height
Tall stacks are no longer considered as

Stack height
Recently this practice has become under attack on the basis that
discharge from the tall stack is more likely to result in long range
transport with associated problems of interregional and international
transport, fumigation and acid deposition.
If such clean-up of the emission takes place, the need for such tall
stacks disappeared. Despite these arguments, the taller the stacks,
the better the closer-in receptor surrounding the source are
protected from its effluents.

Stack height
The ability of tall stack to inject its plume into the upper air and
disperse its pollutants widely depends upon prevalent
meteorological conditions. Some conditions aid dispersion; others
retard it. Since these conditions are measurable and predictable,
intermittent and supplementary control system (ICS/SCS) have
been developed to utilize these released from the stack before
ground level limits exceeded.
