Abstract

Currently, mainly in urbanized environments, air is usually mentioned about air pollution. This case study is to present the results of SO2 and PM10 air quality measurements, which were carried out in selected locality – Zobor, Nitra (Slovakia) on random days in the year 2013. These data were supplemented by measurements of selected meteorological indicators. The results of statistical analysis in software STATISTICA 9 proved that average quantity of SO2 and PM10 in air are significantly varied based on monitored season (spring, summer, and winter) and day-time and night-time too. The three-factor analysis of variance ultimately proved that monitored meteorological indicators have statistically significant impact on average concentration of polluting substances in air.

Keywords: air quality, sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM10), residential area, Nitra – Zobor
