Ambient air pollution levels in Lithuania depend on emissions of pollutants from local sources and long-range transboundary air pollution across Europe. Anthropogenic sulphur and nitrogen compounds in ambient air are associated with the processes of acidification and eutrophication in natural ecosystems and with general air pollution. Air pollution containing particulate matter is a fairly urgent problem in the larger cities of Lithuania.
