ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Monitoring the status of air quality is the set of activities leading to the discovery of the environment and monitoring the evolution of air pollution in time. Knowledge of the environment is not the primary objective of monitoring, but a means of predicting its further development and designing sustainability measures. A clear statement of the objectives of monitoring is a vital precondition for the correctness of the decision about monitoring pollutants, how and where they should be monitored and the accuracy and precision required. Many factors impact air quality that determines its development and changes. Air pollution is subject to the especially primary source of pollution and consequently secondary influences which have a different impact on current concentrations of pollutants in the air. This contribution deals with problems of the monitoring of air pollution from road traffic and the influence of the location of the monitoring station from the primary source of pollution on detected concentrations of selected pollutants.
