Regional air pollution

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008485

The contamination of the atmosphere by pollutants that are transported over distances of tens to hundreds of kilometers, affecting areas beyond the immediate vicinity of their sources. This type of pollution often involves secondary pollutants formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere, such as ozone and acid rain. Regional air pollution requires coordinated efforts across multiple jurisdictions for effective management.
