| Abstract | Since the project was started in August 2001, only the model setup and some preliminary results are presented. Considered case is important from methodological point of view as it highlights the challenges to the regulation mechanisms and their application to the local and regional toxic pollution. In particular, many toxic species do not stay only in atmosphere but rather migrate to soil, water, canopies and biota with a potential to survive there for a long time and to emit later to the atmosphere in case of favourable conditions. As a result, the harmful effect of the pollution is not limited by a short time since the release. It may extend to decades with gradual expanding of the contaminated territory. After some time the initial pollution source may be of less importance than the secondary emission occurring from the contaminated environmental compartments. |
