Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of setting policy measures for reducing the emission of air pollutants. The study focuses on five main air pollutants, PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2 and SO2. Appropriate policy measures for improving air quality were determined based on data on current and expected air quality obtained by dispersion models, as well as on expected emission inventories for the target years 2015 and 2020. The scenario anticipated to result from implementing these measures was also analyzed by dispersion models. The findings indicate that “business as usual” (BAU) policy measures are not sufficient for meeting the target values for the target years. This study identifies additional policy measures that can considerably improve air quality. However, the concentrations of several pollutants are still expected to exceed their target values in many areas, requiring an even greater expansion of the proposed measures for their reduction.
