Abstract

Changes in the general circulation of the atmosphere in a changing climate can lead to a noticeable redistribution of the amount of pollutants entering and areas affecting regions during long-range pollution. In this connection, a methodical approach has been formulated for assessing the trends of long-range atmospheric pollution for given environmentally significant zones, taking into account the predicted climate changes. Pollution indices, characterizing the amount of transported impurity in the latitudinal and meridional directions, are introduced, and calculations are made for January, April, July, October and the year for the period 1980—2050, which generally indicate well-defined trends in long-range atmospheric pollution. The study of the dynamics of the influence of changing weather and climatic conditions in specific areas on human activity in terms of comfort of living has been carried out.
