Abstract: Abstract The modeling of environmental contamination is a complex subject that requires considering heterogeneous natural and human factors distributed in space and time. Corresponding models involve partial differential equations or their discrete analogues. This chapter presents and analyzes models of pollution propagation in the atmosphere. Section 8.1 reviews basic definitions and properties of pollution propagation in air and water. Starting with simple models, Sect. 8.2 derives partial differential equations for air pollution transport and diffusion with pollution sources. The next two sections are devoted to two air pollution control problems: the location of new plants and control of pollution intensity of existing plants. The last section discusses the structure and features of more complicated atmospheric pollution models. Models of water pollution are considered in Chap. 9.
