Summary: Besides emission amounts and technological characteristics of emitted effluents an assessment of the pollution environmental impact requires the knowledge on the diffusion, transport and deposition processes, which are depend upon the dispersing feasibility of the atmosphere boundary layer. These parameters are functions of macro-, meso- and microscale atmospheric processes and local surface characteristics as well. Therefore, the research has been carried out in several directions: - The investigation of interrelationship of local and mesoscale atmospheric processes and chemical composition of atmosphere; - The investigation of dispersional parameters of the atmosphere boundary layer in given urban, industrial and also in the "clean" environments; - Various models, needed for the assessment of surface concentrations of pollutants, have been modified to include local climatic characteristics in flat ground-, mountainous- or coastal regions; - Long range transport model has been evaluated for the pollutant transport assessment on the regional scale. Its applications help to evaluate a background pollution due to the transboundary pollutant transport; - A method has been evaluated to determined the local background pollution; - Statistical analysis of pollution data of the air and precipitation quality confirmed their dependence on some meteorological parameters.

Keywords: atmospheric processes, dispersion, diffusion, transport, deposition, boundary layer, models, background pollution, air quality

Research goals: Goals: 1) The evaluation of methods and procedures for the identification, estimation and air and precipitation pollution monitoring inland and along sea shore. 2) An assessment of the air pollution dependence upon parametersof the atmosphere boundary layer in various environments. 3) The adjustment and modification of air pollution models to meet the boundary layer dispersional characteristics in our region (to be verified in various localities). 4) An improvement of the long range transport model to get reliable judgment on transboundary transport of pollutants. 5) A proposal of the complex monitoring system of key parameters in the air quality management. 6) Contribution to the knowledge and definition of atmospheric processes affecting the air quality of Croatia. 7) Contributions to the strategy of air quality management innormal circumstances and organizing of warning procedures in episodic situations. 8) Contributions to the environment air protection in Croatia and broader - since there exists nor limits for the atmosphere.
