In this study, the dispersal of atmospheric pollutants from point sources and their photochemical transformations are examined. The mass conservation principle underlies a system of differential equations formulated to describe the transfer and transformation processes, incorporating stoichiometric formulas and reaction rate constants. The atmospheric boundary layer model and the transport-transformation equation of pollutants are considered, integrating a specific parameter to assess the influence of anthropogenic heat sources and surface heterogeneity on pollutant dispersion. Using Ust-Kamenogorsk, an industrial city in Kazakhstan, as a case study, the model accounts for variations in photochemical transformations due to weather conditions, ambient temperature, and time of day. To facilitate numerical simulations of atmospheric pollution and visualize various scenarios, a software application package was created, incorporating photochemical transformations. The developed suite of applications has been verified with real data and benchmarked against contemporary software packages such as WRF and SILAM. Moving forward, the refined model aims to forecast air pollution patterns in industrial cities across Kazakhstan.
