The purpose of this article is to disclose current trends in the development of environmental monitoring and tracking anthropogenic environmental impact. It is proposed to use geographic information systems for environmental monitoring and control using appropriate software. We used ArcGis software, which allows us to track the state of the atmosphere, its pollution and other deviations from the norm. The study was conducted on the example of nine districts of Kharkov. As a result of computer geospatial analysis, models and maps of urban pollution were developed. Intelligent analysis of geostatic models of the distribution of emissions in the city made it possible to identify and classify zones of high concentrations of pollution and compare them with data on air quality. Geostatistical methods have transformed data from discrete to continuous presentation. Further research in this area may be related to the improvement of methods for analyzing geostatistical data and predicting the distribution of pollution. As an example, mathematical formulas are presented for determining the atmospheric pollution index and the true or predicted pollution index, which can be determined on the basis of the obtained data and represented by elements of the ArcGis software package in a discrete and continuous form. Geostatistical methods have transformed data from discrete to continuous presentation.
