An assessment of the current state of natural environment affected by air pollution, as well as, forecasts of pro-ecologic, economic and social activities are very often performed using models for atmospheric transport and deposition of air pollutants.

The basic assumptions and principles of the model are described together with the operational domain and examples of model applications. Two examples of model application are described and discussed here.
