Air Pollution at the Waste Disposal Facility Jakuševec and Surrounding Populted Area
Vladimira Vađić
Sažetak
The first air quality measurements in the communities of Jakuševec and Mièevec surrounding the waste disposal facility Jakuševec started in the summer of 1995, that is, before the first section of the disposal facility underwent recovery. The continuous air monitoring was carried out at three measuring sites until the end of 2004. Over the years, air quality showed significant seasonal variations, with a tendency to have significantly higher concentrations of volatile compounds, especially hydrogen sulphite, mercaptans, mercury and gaseous fluorides in the summer than in the winter. In addition, pollution levels would rise substantially during recovery operations. The concentrations of H2S, mercaptans and gaseous fluorides would then exceed limit values defined by the Croatian law. Mercury levels kept below the limit value, but exceeded the recommended value. The concentrations of other pollutants were somewhat lower.
