abstract:
High level of sulphur dioxide concentration is not the only reason of negative effect on vegetation ecosystem. Another reason may be long time of exposure of the ecosystem to relatively low levels of concentration. There are many protected areas in the Warsaw urban area: wildlife sanctuaries, landscape parks and the Kampinoski National Park. The paper presents an analysis of the effect of main emission sources situated in the Warsaw region on sulphur dioxide immission as the distance of influence. The distance of influence is determined by the use of sectional graph modelling method. It gives the opportunity of defining the distance of influence from the largest sources of SO2 emissions and the frequency of plume occurrence over these areas
