Assessment of detected in situ and modeled PM10/2.5 concentration levels during the urban transformation process in Novi Sad, Serbia

Ambient air pollution is a very considerable and complex physicochemical environmental issue. Particulate matter - PM one of the fundamental pollutants constituted in ambient air. Rapidly expanding urban transformations city Novi Sad, Serbia, produces high concentrations PM. The vast growing number construction sites as emission hotspots induce constant nuisance for people, build surrounding environment total. Serbian legislation has set limit values daily emissions, but Air Pollutant Registry still doesn?t recognize severe sources emergence. Understanding importance effects from crucial preservation. For preparation application methods techniques prevention mitigation, suitable modeling needs to be achieved. aim research assess determine utility Tier 1 prediction model designed by EPA software ADMS URBAN on observed Serbia. Assessing monitoring data confirms significant 10 PM2.5 sources. Two sets correction coefficients were calculated PM10 PM2.5, using average median values, 2.56 2.54 1.03 0.97 respectively. study was first time conducted Serbia case sites.
