The tasks sometimes include social and global environmental criterions, however, the direct local consequences
also play an important role and should be examined. A decision-making strategy in waste management updated
with the local emission impact on the population is proposed in this paper. The paper focuses on the first move in
analysing the production, dispersion, and impact of pollutants, originating in transport, with regards to the
population living close to routes. The calculation of emission produced during the transport of waste takes into
consideration the altitude profiles of routes, container loads, and specific types of vehicles. The consecutive
estimated impact on the population reckons with the distances between routes and municipalities as well as their
sizes in terms of the numbers of inhabitants, where the transportation routes are divided into smaller segments
and dispersion is limited with threshold value. The proposed approach describing the emission effect has been
tested using real-life operating data corresponding to the specific, 81 km long route along which approximately
25 t of waste is transported 800 times a year. The impact of pollutants on the population was evaluated and
discussed. Results of the analysis were quantified for this route to create an edge characterisation needed for
further calculations. This approach applied to the whole network then yields input data needed for future re-
search of novel strategies in facility location problems. Other possible extensions of the presented approach
include more accurate dispersion function or detailed calculation of the impact of pollutants with respect to
specific locations of residential houses.
