Assessment and management of ambient air quality is carried out in Poland at local, regional and national level. A variety of informatics tools is increasingly being used in various areas of this issue. The paper presents the preliminary conception of an integrated system for supporting decisions undertaken by various institutions. It presents the legal, organizational and technical conditions governing this type of processes in Poland and potential users of the system, its functions, anticipated sources of the processed data and information. It has an indication of the possible technological solutions, including the potential tools and modules included in the proposed system.
