Abstract

Air pollution by different chemicals; take a great connotation in the world, given the adverse effects on
ecosystems and particularly human health. The urban development, the modification of the land surface and the climate
change, phenomena derived from a world population explosion, are altering the composition of the air. The atmosphere
deposits pollutants in the water courses and in land, which harms not only the persons, but also to the animals and the
plants of the ecosystem. To know as these pollutants are dispersed in the atmosphere it is very important in the establishment
of better urban, regional and world predictions of the air quality. The present study aims to assess the local
spread of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from an industrial zone. The study was done using
the pollutant Gaussian Dispersion Models AERMOD.
