Abstract:

The paper presents selected results of computer simulation of pollution transport processes and the final air quality maps for the typical polluting compounds which characterize the urban atmospheric environment. Calculations were carried out on the actual emission and meteorological dataset from 2012 for Warsaw. The basic forecasting tool is the regional CALPUFF model, which was used to link the emission sources with the distributions of the annual mean concentration values. The resulting concentration maps of most dangerous pollutants show the areas, where thresh.olds of air quality standards are exceeded and remedial procedures are required.
