The invention discloses an inversion 
estimation method for an atmospheric 
pollutant emission 
list. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring initial 
pollution source emission data of a research area; based on the initial 
pollution source emission data, obtaining an upper limit and a 
lower limit of emission of the to-be-inverted area; carrying out grid division on the research area basedon GIS, and distributing the initial 
pollution source emission data to the divided network to obtain a grid emission 
list file suitable for the meteorological-air quality 
model system; based on the 
simulation result of meteorological 
simulation of the research area and the networked emission 
list file, establishing a meteorological-air quality model to obtain a source emission-
receptor concentration relationship; and constructing a pollution source emission list optimization model through a 
linear programming method based on the source emission-
receptor concentration relationship, the upper and lower limits of emission of the to-be-inverted area and the 
air quality monitoring data. According to the method, the limitations of statistical data 
hysteresis, multiple 
simulation iterations and the like can be eliminated, one-time numerical simulation is carried out, inversion of the 
pollutant emission list of the research area is realized through a 
linear programming method, and the emissionlist establishment process is simplified.
