An evaluation of air pollution at the Bily Kriz mountains in the Czech Republic is given. Annual daily concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter of size 10 mm (PM10) and ozone (O3) measured in the years 1994–2000 are presented. Air pollution at Bily Kriz is assessed with the reference to the European Union Directives and the standards adopted by the Czech Republic. In general, the concentrations of air pollutants were lower in 1996 for ozone and decreased for SO2, NOx and PM10 from 1994. The daily values of SO2 and PM10 exceeded the European Union limits in approximately 0.0% and 5.5% of cases, respectively. The values of ozone exceeded the limits for the considered period.

Keywords: air pollutant concentration, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide

  • What is the Difference between a PM2.5 Monitor and a PM10 Monitor?

    Ambient air particulate monitoring is of more interest than ever before. The reason is new public awareness of the health effects of small particles suspended in the air, in combination with increased vehicle fleets emitting such particles. “PM” stands for particulate matter. The number (usually 10 or 2.5) indicates the size of the particulates monitored. PM10 refers to particles with diameter 10 µm or smaller, and PM2.5 to particles with diameter 2.5 µm or smaller. The Measurement...

It is quite common to find air quality indexes, where the ranges are divided in sections indicating “good”, “fair”, “troublesome”, “alarming”, or similar. Different population groups might need to take...
