Abstract:
The quality of air in Bucharest is influenced, same situation as in other towns of Europe, mainly by stationary sources (industry) and mobile sources (traffic), third influence being the pollutants transport on long distances.
Air quality evaluation is based on available information regarding atmospheric pollution sources, measurements and emissions inventory.Bucharest region (Euroregion 8) air quality monitoring network comprise 8 fixed points:(i)regional background station (ii)Balotesti;(iii)sub-urban background station–Magurele;(iv)urban background station – Crangasi;(v) 2 traffic stations: Mihai Bravu and Cercul Militar;(vi) 3 industrial stations: Drumul Taberei, Titan and Berceni.
According European Union legislation the following indicators are monitorized: SO2, NOx, CO, O3, benzene, PM10, PM2,5 and Pb. Air quality monitoring data are integrated in European network EUROAIRNET.Pb is analyzed from powder-dust (10 and 2,5 microns) sampled as 24 hours sample using atomic absorption equipment. Benzene is analyzed also daily, from air samples collected on absorbent specific tubes. Sampling period of time and volume of air are also pre-established. Analytical data are obtained after a gas-chromatografic analysis. Maximum allowed limit values for benzene according legislation is 30 μg/m3. Average values for 2006 are under this limit.
