Abstract
The numerical two-dimensional Eulerian grid model, supported by readily available input data has been used for assessing the current state of air pollution by sulphur dioxide in Poland. Annual mean concentrations in the air were calculated. The applied computational grid constitutes a part of the EMEP model grid. Model results were verified with observations. Existing monitoring data were analysed from the point of view of data completeness and site representativeness. The 53 stations situated in all of the 16 voivodeships in Poland were chosen for model validation. On the majority of the sites a very good agreement was obtained between the observed and modelled values.
