- Abstract
Atmospheric air pollution is among the main ecological issues in Bulgaria and around the world. A direct correlation has been found between air quality and health condition of the population. The opportunities for monitoring and modelling are a key factor in the process towards bettering its quality. The current paper examines some of the main public sources of information regarding atmospheric air quality. These online platforms provide information on a local, regional, national and global level. The examined online tools show a common tendency in the visualization of the information provided to the public in regards to the quantitative aspects of pollution. The presentation of data through diagrams (linear or columnar) greatly hinders and in some cases renders impossible the subsequent use for other means apart from those that are purely informative. In relation to that, the extraction of baseline values could considerably widen the scope of their potential use in computer applications with a social, economic or management focus. The current paper aims to observe the ways through which quantitative data from different public sources (presented mainly in the form of tables, linear or columnar diagrams) could be potentially used for analysis and in the making of final decisions in different fields of social and economic life on a local, regional, national level by means of contemporary information technology such as the Geographic Economic Systems (GIS). These systems have a proven efficacy in the solution of problems with a different spatial scope and in the current moment acquire an ever-increasing application in the form of a key tool, used in combination with other methods from different fields, for accomplishing certain results related to limiting pollution.
