【 摘 要 】

This work presents the results obtained from a spatial modeling and analysis process on pollutants measured in the air through forty-three monitoring stations located in the three provinces of the Basque Autonomous Community (Spain). The pollutants measured correspond to the set of nitrogen oxides (nitric oxide, NO; nitrogen dioxide, NO ${}_2$ ; and nitrogen oxides, NO ${}_x$ ) and atmospheric particulate matter with a diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers (PM ${}_{10}$ ). The objective of this work was to generate a map of the pollutants that exhaustively covers the entire area of the Basque Autonomous Community using geostatistical techniques, in such a way that it serves as a basis for short and midterm environmental studies.
