Abstract: The legal framework for the application of atmospheric dispersion models for air pollution control in Germany is outlined. Atmospheric dispersion models in regulatory procedures are currently essentially based on the Gaussian approach. However, more advanced modelling is already available.

Keywords: air pollution control; atmospheric dispersion models; Gaussian model; Germany; regulatory modelling; environmental impact assessment; environmental pollution.
