Abstract
Current chapter outlines the model-based assessment of air pollution in Eastern and Southern Asia. The chemistry transport model SILAM, which covers the main sources of the air pollutants in the region, was applied to evaluate their influence on spatial and temporal characteristics of the regional pollution pattern. We showed that, apart from the anthropogenic sources, air pollution in several parts of Eastern and Southern Asia is dominated by other sources, such as desert dust and vegetation fires. In particular, South-East Asia and Eastern Russia are heavily impacted by the biomass burning smoke, largely from agriculture fires. Fire-induced pollution is also episodically significant in several provinces of China.
