Environmental monitoring involves environm
ental quality studies, observation and assessment of the
environment's condition
,
and the changes taking place within it. The analysis account
s for s
ources of linear,
surface, and point emission that have an adverse impact on the environment through pollut
ants. Point source
emissions mainly represented by power plants spread harmful substances even for several dozen kilometers.
Dispersion modeling is used to track atmospheric pollutants and to plan future emission sources, minimizing
their impact on the env
ironment. One of the newest modeling methods is the Lagrange model, currently used in
Germany in AustalView software. The article presents the stages of the calculation of atmospheric dispersion of
pollutants, according to German standards
based
on the exa
mple of the Schkopau power plant in Germany. This
makes it possible to analyze the degree of air pollution depending on the distance from the source, and the
information obtained may be useful for locating newly designed power plants through the location s
ystem,
where the highest pollutant concentrations are recorded.
