Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the spread of pollutants in the air, incoming in the territory of the Irkutsk agglomeration from industrial plants and traffic. The Irkutsk agglomeration is the second largest inter-regional center of social and economic development and attraction in Eastern Siberia. There are more than three thousand registered stationary sources of emissions, and about 330 thousand units of motor transport on its territory. In addition, there are numerous ash disposal areas from Combined Heat Power Plants and boiler-houses, dusty mine opencasts, private sector with low-pipes and unauthorized burning of rubbish. The evaluation of air pollution from various sources has been held by the author's mathematical models, working in diagnostics and prediction mode as well as by the remote sensing methods, using MODIS spectroradiometer data on the snow cover pollution intensity for the period of 2000-2014. The research results allowed zoning the studied area on the degree of pollution, depending on the violation of the established environmental standards. The comparison analysis with existing data of observations was carried out to verify the obtained results. The information about dangerously contaminated area is necessary for the governing bodies to make the decision timely about measures to normalize the environment.
