Russian Meteorology and Hydrology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Data on anthropogenic emissions from industrial sources and motor vehicles to the atmosphere over the Moscow region over the past decade (2009–2018) are analyzed. The spatial distribution of emissions, its links to the distribution of urban areas and to the transport network location within the study region are considered. The estimates of trends in anthropogenic load of air pollutants as well as their atmospheric concentrations in the region are presented.
