Abstract:
The paper focuses on the analysis of the relationship between pollutant concentrations in the air meteorological conditions. For this, there were used the measurements of PM10 concentrations from three different geographical locations. The concentration measurements were obtained by using a gravimetric system (Manolache and Stefan,2014) and the local meteorological parameters with weather stations. The three specific locations are: Magurele (urban station close to Bucharest), Surlari (Resort teaching and research, University of Bucharest, rural station) and Bucurestii Noi (urban station) close to air intense traffic area. The analysis of the concentrations at the three stations, for the 1 March 2014-1 March 2015 period, has shown a few pollution episodes only for Bucurestii Noi area in the April and May days. These episodes were analyzed to determine their causes. The meteorological data and Hysplit4 model (www.arl.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT.php) were used to explain the enhancing of air pollution. The results show the principal cause is the traffic in Bucurestii Noi, because the back-trajectories present local conditions and meteorological parameters are expected.
