The rearmost appendage of certain dog breeds that stand erect or curl over their backs (eg Samoyed, Malteagle)
(Çevre) A body of contaminated groundwater flowing from a specific source. The movement of the groundwater is influenced by such factors as local groundwater flow patterns, the character of the aquifer in which the groundwater is contained, and the density of contaminants. A plume may also be a cloud of smoke or vapor. It defines the area where exposure would be dangerous
overcharge: rip off; ask an unreasonable pricepride: be proud of; "He prides himself on making it into law school"
The elongated pattern of contamination spreading from the source of pollution into the environment
Mass of liquid or gas moving through a different medium Most commonly refers to a mass of contaminants or contaminated ground water migrating through the subsurface geologic environment
Airborne emissions from a specified source and the path through the atmosphere of these emissions
the concentration profile of an airborne or waterborne release of material as it spreads from its source (Center for Disease Control (CDC), Savannah River Site (SRS) dose reconstruction, 1999)
form a plume; "The chimneys were pluming the sky"; "The engine was pluming black smoke"
1 A visible or measurable discharge of a contaminant from a given point of origin Can be visible or thermal in water, or visible in the air as, for example, a plume of smoke
In environmental application, the zone of groundwater considered to be contaminated; both areal and vertical delineation of this zone may be made by defining/accepting a specific threshold concentration of the contaminant of interest
