Most theoretical investigations into the problem of turbulent transport of pollutants consider the case of their transport by an air flow above an even underlying surface. However, in Russia, sources of industrial pollution are more often surrounded by forests. In the present paper, a mathematical model is suggested that describes the turbulent transport of aerosol pollutants under conditions of extremely rough underlying surface (forest). A single elevated source of atmospheric pollution is considered. In case of several sources of pollution, the principle of superposition can be applied.
