		In the last twenty years, the main problems of air pollution were caused by the comparatively high concentration of sulphur dioxide and dust, the two main components of winter smog.
		The analysis and assessment of the regional distribution of air pollutants and their short- and long-term impact on organisms and ecosystems is managed in the ecological monitoring programme with twenty-five to forty-eight measuring points in grid and continuous ecological observation at forest sites.
