Sažetak

This paper represents, for the first time, scientific data as a part of monitoring air quality in the
city of Split. The city has a problem with the air pollution mostly caused by anthropogenic activities and
partly by natural origin activities. This study presents results of monthly and seasonal variations of NO2,
SO2 and black-smoke as well as the influence of meteorological parameters on observed concentration
levels. Average seasonal values for SO2 ranged from 22.54 to 54.81 g m–3, for NO2 from 48.24 to 56.38
g m–3 and for black-smoke from 4.15 to 5.64 g m–3. The results obtained for SO2 and black-smoke were
below, while for NO2 were above the limit value of pollutants in the air recommended by Croatian Government
(Air Protection Act (OG 178/04); Regulation on limit values of pollutants in air (OG 133/05)).
As the result of stable meteorological conditions (high temperatures and drought), the increase in SO2
concentration was significant in summer period, while the concentrations of NO2 and black-smoke were
not significantly changed during year and did not depend on other parameters. (doi: 10.5562/cca1966)
