Sedimentary dust - total one month 200 350 (note 1)
Pb in sedimentary dust one month 0,1 -
Cd in sedimentary dust one month 0,002 -
Zn in sedimentary dust one month 0,4 -
Tl in sedimentary dust one month 0,002 -
note 1: refers to the month of the year with the highest values of sediment
In addition to these values, the afore
mentioned regulations, the content of
pollutants in the air is given in order to
protect the ecosystem, also the target values
for air quality, thresholds and alert
threshold alarms are given as well.
3 MONITORING OF AIR QUALITY
3.1. Places of Measurement
On the basis of insight into the situational
map of the zone, and the situation on the
ground, network of 12 hexagons, has been
created which covers the entire area.
Surface of a hexagon is 0.078 km 2 or area
that covers the entire area of 0.936 km 2 .
The network is made according to the
situation on the ground. It covers the
transport route from the moment of entry
into the populated area and follows the exit
of the village, and the area in which
households are located up to 200 m from
Table 3. Mean monthly concentrations of gaseous pollutants
the transport route. The aim of this kind of
selection of measurement points is to get a
real impact on the transport system
distribution, and change of air quality at the
site around the transport system.
Measurements were carried out for the
sediment dust, airborne dust (total-ULC and
less than 10 m LC-10) as gaseous
pollutants (CO2, CO, SO2, NOx,
formaldehyde and acrolein), in dry and wet
periods (when transport works and does not
work ).
3.2 The Measurement Results
Table 3 shows the average concentrations
of gaseous pollutants for the winter period
of 2010/11 and spring 2011, in Table 4 the
results of measurements of sedimentary
dust emission in table 5, the determined
values of airborne dust emissions.
