Abstract

Air pollution is an international problem of the greatest dimensions. The continuous expansion of production and consumption in modern society is accompanied by the steadily increasing emission of air pollutants of different types. It is generally recognized that air pollutants can be transported in substantial amounts over distances of 1000 - 2000 km. This phenomenon has been studied with special attention being focused on acid sulphur compounds, which are the main cause of acid precipitation.
