The main approaches and methods of studying the characteristics and conditions of atmospheric pollution on the example of Western Kazakhstan are considered. The classification and grouping of applied approaches by topics, methods, time intervals and other relevant criteria was conducted. An analysis of the available information on the sources and volumes of emissions into the atmosphere, as well as on the systems for monitoring the pollution of the air basin, was carried out. It is shown that to increase the effectiveness of the atmospheric air quality management system, it is expedient to use a complex approach taking into account the influence of meteorological factors and synoptic conditions that determine different levels of pollution. An analytical review of modern methods of modeling the spread of pollutants in atmospheric air showed the feasibility of using statistical methods integrated with deep machine learning and the Eulerian continuum model of turbulent diffusion. The obtained conclusions will allow further use of an integrated approach to improve the atmospheric air quality management system of the studied region.
