Dispersing pollutants above the thermal inversion layer is unlikely to help reduce pollution levels in the long run.

Thermal Inversion Layer

A meteorological phenomenon where a layer of warm air traps pollution and smog close to the ground by capping cooler air below it.

Pollutants

Substances that contaminate the environment, causing harm or discomfort to living organisms and ecosystems.

Pollution Levels

The concentration of harmful substances in the environment, indicating the degree of pollution and potential risks to health and ecosystems.
