Air Quality and Categorization of Some Areas in Zagreb During Air Quality Monitoring of General and Specific Pollutants

This paper presents the results on the concentrations of sulphur dioxide, smoke, total suspended particulate matter, metals: lead, cadmium and manganese in total suspended particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ozone in the air during air quality surveillance in Zagreb. The surveillance was carried out on two measuring sites in the city centre and northern part of Zagreb. The paper also proposes the categorization of areas by air quality in accordance with Law on Air Quality Protection in Croatia and the Ordinance on Recommended and Limit Air Quality Values. The air quality in Zagreb has greatly improved over past few years, especially as far as SO2, smoke and SPM are concerned. Zagreb follows trends similar to those in other European countries.
