Carcinogen Plume & Cancer Risk Simulator

Interactive 3D simulation of an airborne carcinogen plume spreading from an industrial source: watch a Gaussian dispersion model carry pollutant downwind while a nearby population accumulates dose and cancer risk under a linear no-threshold model, opposed by the body's detox and DNA-repair rate.

Carcinogenic pollutants rarely announce themselves — they drift as an invisible plume from a stack, a tailpipe or a waste site, and the health cost shows up only after years of quiet accumulation. This simulation models an industrial source releasing an airborne carcinogen using a Gaussian dispersion plume, and tracks a scattered population's cumulative dose and cancer risk under a linear no-threshold dose-response model, opposed by the body's own detoxification and DNA-repair capacity. Adjust the emission rate, wind speed and repair rate to see how source strength, distance and physiology together determine who ends up at real risk.
