Gaseous and particulate urban air pollution in the region of Vojvodina (Serbia)
The present study focuses on interpretations of the temporal variations and variations between urban locations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and black smoke (BS) during the period 2001-2008 in the Vojvodina Region of Serbia (VR_S). In this study we examined variations of p...

| description | The present study focuses on interpretations of the temporal variations and
variations between urban locations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2) and black smoke (BS) during the period 2001-2008 in the Vojvodina
Region of Serbia (VR_S). In this study we examined variations of pollutants
concentrations during household heating and non-heating seasons and the
effect of household heating, traffic, rainfall and wind speed on the air
pollution levels of SO2, NO2 and BS in eight locations. The analyses showed
that the annual limit values of these pollutants as recommended by the
Serbian regulations and recommendations were not exceeded, unlike the daily
limits. Higher SO2 concentrations during household heating season in four
locations indicate the substantial impact of household heating on air
quality. Positive effects of the use of environmentally cleaner fuels were
observed in only two locations. The growing impact of traffic on air
pollution is shown by the increasing trend of NO2 during both seasons. Calm
wind conditions and an absence of rainfall were found to have incremental
effects on pollution levels in most locations. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
