Abstract
The statistical model based on cluster and regression analyses, were developed for calculating 5th percentile critical levels of sulphur dioxide for Poland. Model formulation, performance and results given in the computational grid representing a part of the EMEP model grid are presented. Current and past sulphur dioxide concentration fields were used for the calculations of critical levels exceedances. The obtained exceedances’ maps show that the threat to the ecosystems in Poland connected with sulphur dioxide air concentrations is declining.
