Study regarding the atmospheric pollution degree in Craiova City.

Abstract

In order to improve the air quality is to apply in practice the national policy of environmental protection through: promoting economic activity of appropriate technologies for retention of the pollutants at source; source management to reduce air emissions to the lowest levels in order to not exceed the regenerative capacity of the atmosphere, and the use of fuels of low-sterile. The study was undertaken in the period 2006-2008 in Craiova city and targeted air pollution in major areas of concern, namely urban area, traffic area, and two industrial areas. There were monitored a number of pollutants with modern specialized equipment, such as NOx, PM10, BTX, SO2, O3, CO, NO2. Following the systematic data on environmental quality in the Craiova area we have established that: the emissions of nitrogen oxides have two trends: at the major industrial stations, the concentrations decrease, and at the representative stations of the traffic, the levels increase, witnessing the transfer of pollution from the industry to traffic.
