Abstract: The paper discusses methodological problems concerning the integral assessment of atmospheric air pollution. An approach to a generalized, comprehensive assessment of pollution that takes into account different degrees of harmfulness of pollutants to human beings in case of equivalent violations of standards is introduced. A technique for finding a synthetic comprehensive index, the so-called air pollution index, is described, and practical applications using large lowns in North-Estonia are analyzed.
