By the end of 2009 intensive air pollutions with nitrogen dioxide were registered in Stara Zagora town, Bulgaria. The main suspect as the gassing source for the local media and society was a military range Zmeyovo near the town, where the suitability of the ammunitions are tested through their shooting and a certain amount of gasses mainly nitrogen compounds emit in the air, because the chemical composition of ammunition. Under the public pressure, the problem was discussed at different governing levels – local, national as well as authorities at EU level. In present work the problem with a possible migration of emitted in the military range nitrogen dioxide outside the area of the military range, was estimated, by exploring the data registered by the automatic monitoring stations for air quality control in the area in and near the military range. The analysis of concentrations and meteorological data from several automatic stations operated simultaneously on the area around and in the military range sows that the migration of air pollution outside the area of military range is negligible in the time interval 2007-2009.
