ABSTRACT
Modelling the processes taking place in atmospheric air (i.e. the transformations and transport of pollutants) on the basis of estimated concentrations of pollutants and mathematical models has been getting increasingly popular in the recent years, especially in countries with strongly developed automotive industry. There are noticeable effects of these studies in the literature (Mellios et al. 2007), and the methods are constantly being improved. It should be noted that in this way, many attempts to evaluate the influence of relevant factors on the emissions of given groups of VOCs from automotive-related sources and into the atmosphere have been made (Harley & Cass 1995, Zielin´ska et al. 1996, Mensink et al. 2000, Mellios et al. 2007, Hoshi et al. 2008).
