The article deals with the development of geoinformatics procedures accelerating and
simplifying the application of the scattering model SYMOS?97 (Gaussian model), for
selected pollutants in the open air to an area with a large number of sources and
reference points. They are compared here with real measured concentrations of these
persistent organic pollutants. One of the chapters illustrates the spatial and temporal
variability of the ratios of the contributions of individual resource sectors to the total air
pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The interdisciplinarity of cartography
and geoinformatics also lies in a wide range of scientific disciplines, for which it can be
a valuable contribution in terms of effective data processing and presentation of
achieved results. The next chapter article describes how to apply cartographic
knowledge and procedures in the field of environmental chemistry. Thus, its focus is not
only on the comparison of data obtained by measuring air pollution and calculated by
the SYMOS?97 dispersion model. The main focus is on the demanding data processing
for the mentioned model so that these procedures are as simple as possible, automated,
and refined using geographic information systems. Because it is hardly possible to
imagine manually preparing a larger amount of input data for this software without the
use of GIS, automation of this process is obvious. Thanks to the automation of the
preparation of the necessary documents, it is possible to achieve results that will not be
affected by the subjective perception of the user, as well as a lower probability of
entering errors into the processed data. The ideal conclusion of this work would, of
course, be a complete agreement of the results obtained by the application of the
scattering model and air sampling. However, the relative failure of this comparison is
also beneficial if the main causes of this output can be identified. This means the
possibility of identifying areas or types of relief in which there are significant
discrepancies between the compared data. Finally, there is a warning in areas where
SYMOS?97 gives worse results and a warning that in these areas there may be sources
that are not part of the emission source database and could not be included in the model
calculations.
