Abstract
years 2006 to 2008, which analyzed the behavior of weather variables, atmospheric stability and mixing-layer height involved in the diffusion of pollutants
in the atmosphere, the Pasquill and Turner methods were used for its calculation, developed in the Automated Information Management Pollutant
(SAGIFC), the meteorological data of the surface were obtained from the provincial meteorological center of Pinar del Rio. The occurrence of atmospheric
stability categories in number of days, months at the analyzed hours for all the period studied, was obtained as a result, the same procedure was performed to determine the different heights of the mixed
layer. In conclusion ,the study shows the periods in which the conditions are most appropriate and when are less appropriate for the dispersion of pollutant in
the vertical, and proposing as recommendations, the time and seasons of the year in which would be more convenient that the pollutant sources make the most
important part in the production activities, without affecting economic plans, and in this way to try to reduce the polluting potential in the studied area
and the different implications that could bring to the health of people.
