 The level of air pollution is also reflected in the indicators. Atmospheric Pollution Index (ATP) is used as a general complex indicator that varies depending on the degree of hazard and concentration of pollutants. Calculations made at specific points show that the amount of pollutants varies depending on the form and ways in which they enter the atmosphere. ACI is usually calculated on the basis of the highest average annual emissions. The main sources of air pollution in cities are dependent substances, nitrogen dioxide, benzapyrene, formaldehyde, phenol, carbon sulfide and hydrogen fluoride.According to statistics, over the past decade, the average annual air pollution has increased by about 50%. The production of industrial products is growing day by day, which leads to an increase in emissions from the metallurgical, chemical, oil, gas and coal industries. The volume of thermal energy emissions from gas, coal and fuel oil has also increased. High levels of air pollution have been recorded in major cities. This, in turn, determines the tense overall environmental situation. The general pollution of the atmosphere as a whole leads to climate change, the creation of a "greenhouse effect", which in turn leads to global warming. According to recent research, significant changes in air temperature are observed in the plains of Azerbaijan. Representatives of the Republic of Azerbaijan signed the Convention on Climate Change in 1992 at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2000, the Kyoto Protocol (Japan) was signed, setting out the mechanism for implementing this Convention. The main purpose of these measures is to reduce the amount of industrial waste released into the atmosphere, which causes global warming and the "greenhouse effect". Climate change is causing changes in all bioclimatic complexes, including G¢ç, which is deteriorating the overall environmental situation by adversely affecting human and natural factors.
