Description

The Central Moravia air quality improvement program targets its measures primarily on benzo(a)pyrene, which, according to model calculations, exceeds the emission limit level in most of the Zlín region. Model calculations are characterized by greater potential uncertainty. The project aims to verify the correctness of the mentioned model calculations by means of measurements. The project aims to survey the entire territory of the Zlín Region, at 12 locations. These measurements will help to create a much  more detailed and accurate picture of the nature of air pollution by benzo(a)pyrene, other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aerosol particles in the affected area.. The target group of this project is mainly characterized as the Zlín Region residents. Another target group are municipal workers who will use the results of the project when evaluating their time plans for improving air quality, and also the municipal workers with extended powers who will use the results in control activities in the area. Employees of the Zlín Region will use the measurement results to verify the setting of the existing priorities of the Air Quality Improvement Plan in the Zlín Region and when preparing measures to improve the state of the territory in terms of measured pollutants for the next period. In addition, it will be possible to compare and link the results of this project with the results of the simultaneously submitted grant application for the project "Continuous monitoring of air quality in small towns in the Zlín Region".
