Syllabus

Introduction - world problems of human influences on global environment and atmosphere. Basic anthropogenic air pollutants (primary and secundary - smogs), their influences on plants, animals, man and human activities. Contemporary problems of ozonosphere, grenhouse effect and acid rain. Mutual influences between atmosphere and atmospheric pollutants - influencing of radiative and heat fluxes and their consequences, influence on basic meteorological elements on diffusion and changes of pollutants (temperature, humidity, wind, baric field, and atmospheric fronts, influence of relief morphology), forecasting. Measurements and forecasting of pollutants, structure of special service. Possibilities of emission reduce - basic methods. Theoretical calculations of imissions - K - theory and statistical theory, applications for point, linear and volumen sources of pollution, influences of physical atmospheric properties and transformations of pollutants on results of calculations. Situation in the Czech republic - characterization of most damaged regions.
