Monitoring of Particulate Matter Concentrations in Kosice-Krasna, Slovakia: A Case Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study aims to carry out an experimental investigation of particulate matter (PM) concentrations, temperature, humidity and air velocity. Košice - Krásna is located in the south-eastern part of the city of Kosice on both sides of the river Hornád. Locality Na Hore II is a residential area that was under construction during the monitoring period. This study also investigates the relationship between various fractions of particulate matter (PM_0.5, PM₁, PM_2.5, PM₅ and PM₁₀) in outdoor and indoor environment. Indoor mean concentration of PM_2.5 was 3.92 μg/m³ and outdoor mean concentration of PM_2.5was 15.41 μg/m³. An indoor mean concentration of PM₁₀ was 13.77 μg/m³ and outdoor mean concentration of PM₁₀ was 38.34 μg/m³. Permissible value for indoor PM₁₀ (50 μg/m³) was exceeded. I/O ratio were <1 for all fractions of particulate matters.
