Abstract
A presence of nonlinearity in time series of concentrations of air pollutants and in their relations to time series of meteorological variables is tested using information-theoretic functionals and the surrogate data approach. The results are discussed in relation to predictability of the pollutant concentrations aimed to alert smog episodes.
