  "text": "Equation (2.5.21) may be used to calculate the diffractions on vertical edges (lateral diffractions) in case of industrial noise. If this is the case, Adif = Δ dif(S,R) is taken and the term Aground is kept. In addition, Aatm and Aground shall be calculated from the total length of the propagation path. Adiv is still calculated from the direct distance d. Equations (2.5.8) and (2.5.6) respectively become:\nA H = A div + A path atm + A path ground,H + Δ dif,H S,R\n(2.5.33)\nA F = A div + A path atm + A path ground,F + Δ dif,H S,R\n(2.5.34)\nΔ dif is indeed used in homogeneous conditions in equation (2.5.34).",
