<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>In this paper we analysed how the stability and instability atmospheric situations influence the diffusion of air pollutants, as level of big areas and as level of restricted focus (e.g. a chimney). Moreover, the surface is considered, through the sea and valley breeze, because they can influence the wind direction and so, the transportation of pollutants when main winds do not exit. At last, the influence of orographic obstacles are considered in the generation of lee’s vortices.</span></p></div></div></div></div>
