The paper investigates the air quality in the urban area of Warsaw, Poland. Calculations are carried out using the emissions and meteorological data from the year 2012. The modeling tool is the regional CALMET/CALPUFF system, which is used to link the emission sources with the distributions of the annual mean concentrations. Several types of polluting species that characterize the urban atmospheric environment, like PM₁₀, PM_2.5, NOx, SO₂, Pb, B(a)P, are included in the analysis. The goal of the analysis is to identify the most polluted districts and polluting compounds there, to check where the concentration limits of particular pollutants are exceeded. Then, emission sources (or emission categories) which are mainly responsible for violation of air quality standards and increase the adverse health effects, are identified. The modeling results show how the major emission sources – the energy sector, industry, traffic and the municipal sector – relate to the concentrations calculated in receptor points, including the contribution of the transboundary inflow. The results allow to identify districts where the concentration limits are exceeded and action plans are needed. A quantitative source apportionment shows the emission sources which are mainly responsible for the violation of air quality standards. It is shown that the road transport and the municipal sector are the emission classes which substantially affect air quality in Warsaw. Also transboundary inflow contributes highly to concentrations of some pollutants. The results presented can be of use in analyzing emission reduction policies for the city, as a part of an integrated modeling system.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki analizy jakości powietrza w Warszawie. Obliczenia przeprowadzono dla danych emisyjnych i meteorologicznych z roku 2012. Jako narzędzie modelowania wykorzystano regionalny system CALMET/CALPUFF, którego zadaniem było powiązanie danych emisyjnych z rozkładami stężeń średniorocznych. Analiza dotyczy podstawowych zanieczyszczeń atmosferycznych, charakteryzujących aglomeracje miejskie, jak np.: PM₁₀, PM_2.5, NOx, SO₂, Pb, B(a)P, metale ciężkie. Celem analizy było zidentyfikowanie najbardziej zanieczyszczonych obszarów miasta oraz zanieczyszczeń, których stężenia przekraczają poziomy dopuszczalne. Ponadto, wskazanie źródeł emisji (lub kategorii emisyjnych), które głównie odpowiadają za te przekroczenia, powodując negatywne skutki zdrowotne. Wyniki modelowania pokazują, w jakim stopniu główne źródła emisyjne – związane z sektorami energii, przemysłu, transportu lub komunalno-bytowym – odpowiadają za wartości stężeń w receptorach. Uwzględniono przy tym udział transgranicznego napływu zanieczyszczeń. Wyniki pozwalają wskazać dzielnice, w których zostały przekroczone poziomy dopuszczalne stężeń i konieczne są odpowiednie działania naprawcze. Dokonano ilościowej oceny udziału źródeł emisji głównie odpowiedzialnych za przekroczenia standardów. Ruch uliczny oraz sektor komunalno-bytowy wskazano jako kategorie emisyjne, które mają decydujący wpływ na pogarszanie jakości powietrza w Warszawie. W przypadku niektórych zanieczyszczeń (np. PM) bardzo istotny jest również udział napływu zewnętrznego. Wyniki mogą być przydatne przy wyborze strategii ograniczania emisji oraz jako część zintegrowanego systemu modelowania.
