Contribution to the study of possible transport of PM10 aerosols in the eastern part of the Czech Republic

Original language description

The article deals with the assessment of air pollution in the eastern regions of the Czech Republic: Moravia and Silesia, where the limits for the protection of human health for PM and benzo[a]pyrene are significantly exceeded, especially in the north-eastern area. The extent to which this heavily polluted part of Moravia and Silesia affects the central, southern and south-eastern parts of Moravia, i.e. south-eastern part of the Czech Republic, has often been discussed but not proven. The assessment demonstrated the influence and extent of pollutant transport by determining the prevailing daily wind direction. The prevailing NE wind direction results in worse dispersion conditions and higher PM10 concentrations throughout the study area. Conversely, the SW wind direction is a carrier of better dispersion conditions with lower PM10 concentrations in the area. The effect of transport of PM10 pollution in the daily type from the NE direction can be observed at those sites located in the NE of the area of interest from the border with Poland to the Prerov site. In the case of more southerly sites, the methodology used does not allow to determine whether and to what extent they are affected by pollution transport from the northeastern part of Moravia or from neighbouring Poland. This methodology is particularly useful when only 24-h pollutant concentrations are available (not at more detailed, e.g. 1-hour intervals). The internal methodology of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institutefor calculating back trajectories of wind from ground stations is particularly applicable for detecting the origin of short-term episodes with high pollutant concentrations.
