A method for determining a location of a pollutant source, comprises: obtaining wind direction information for a region of interest; measuring pollutant concentrations for a first plane of interest in the region of interest with a movement determined based on the wind direction information using a drone equipped with a chemical sensor, the first plane of interest being determined based on a current altitude of the drone; lowering by a predetermined descending distance an altitude of the drone from a descent position on the first plane of interest determined on the basis of a result of the measuring; and determining a pollutant source candidate area based on a location of the drone after the lowering if the lowered altitude of the drone is equal to or less than a predetermined reference altitude.
