Description

Local heating plants have long been a major source of air pollution not only in the Vysočina Region. In the Vysočina Region, air quality measurements have been carried out in the framework of ISKOV I, ISKOV II and PAUPZKO projects (Tromso Call) for more than 10 years. This project builds on the above-mentioned measurements and aims to complement and refine them, in particular by detailed medium-term measurements of PAHs and aerosol particles (10 months measurements). The number of boilers replaced under boiler subsidies is also taken into account for the selection of sites and subsequent evaluation. The results of the project should also contribute to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the boiler subsidies.

Region Vysočina expects this project to bring unique data on actual air quality and develops a proposal for measures to improve air quality both in the monitored municipalities and in typologically similar municipalities throughout the region.
