Abstract: A method for monitoring air pollution within a significant atmospheric volume and for providing real time and projected results and effects based upon varying the inputted data as a function of pollution abatement procedures that might be implemented. Data collected from a plurality of sources are converted into an electronic database which may be automatically and/or periodically updated. A series of software modules utilize the data for a series of specific representations. The output provided by modeling and simulation modules may be in the form of two- or three-dimensional visual presentations in a specially equipped multiple, computer-driven, projector screen room. The output may also be in the form of printed media for binding and distribution with screen images combined with text.
