The application of air protection methods and technologies involves considerable investment and maintenance costs. Thus, to reduce overall expenditures an economic calculation of air pollution control, should be applied. This problem is connected in special way with areas of great population of inhabitants with spatially uneven density, where energetic, technological and domestic emission sources are located. Such calculations are preferred to be used on the town and municipal scale. The maximized ecological effect might be calculated from aggregate mean annual ambient concentration and population density distribution. Aggregate concentration reflects concentrations of all emitted pollutants, being taken into account. As an example, the optimization for Bytom--an industrial town regarded as one of the most heavily polluted in Europe--was carried out due to its energy production facilities. Alternative fuels were taken into consideration. It demonstrates that expenditures of a relatively small percentage of overall energy production costs can make a substantial improvement to the ambient air condition.
空气保护方法和技术的应用涉及大量投资和维护成本。因此,为了降低总体支出,应进行空气污染控制的经济核算。这个问题与居民人口众多且密度在空间上分布不均的地区有着特殊的联系,这些地区存在能源、技术和家庭排放源。这种计算最好在城镇和市政规模上使用。最大生态效应可以根据年平均环境浓度总和及人口密度分布来计算。总和浓度反映了所有考虑在内的排放污染物的浓度。例如,对被视为欧洲污染最严重的工业城镇之一的比托姆进行了优化,这是由于其能源生产设施。考虑了替代燃料。结果表明,在总体能源生产成本中占比较小的支出就能大幅改善环境空气质量。
