This paper gives a short information about the behaviour of chimney plumes, seasonal, daily and weekly cycles of air pollution and about vertical and horizontal distribution of air polluting materials. It deals with relationships between these phenomena on the one side and weather and climatic conditions (and partially properties of sources of emission and other factors, too) on the other. Some more facts relating to these topics can be found in the paper Effect of Meteorological Factors on Air Pollution in some of following issues of this journal.
