Abstract
The paper discusses the use of geostatistical models and geographic information systems (GIS) in the study of anthropogenic load, with the involvement of the database of the snow cover monitoring. The spatial reference of the value of average daily emissions of dust particles by means of GIS technologies (ArcGIS 9.3) and Surfer 6.0 software made it possible to perform two- and three-dimensional visualization of experimental measurements results and to assess the changes in the locations and levels of pollution in urbanized and adjacent areas. In particular, described approach is used to identify those areas in which deterioration of the air quality was due to the active territory development of private houses with furnace heating or operation of boiler enterprises.
