Methodological explanations

Emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere – the entry into the atmospheric air of pollutants (having an adverse effect on the health or activity of the population, on the environment) from stationary sources of emissions (organized and unorganized).

Stationary organized sources include mobile sources from which pollutants enter through gas and air outlet systems (chim-neys, aeration lights, ventilation shafts, etc.).
