THE CENTER FOR INTEGRATED MANAGEMEENT OF AIR QUALITY

The Center conducts research, analysis, observation and modelling of air quality, energy consumption and GHG emissions. It employs the latest communication technologies. Its reach extends across and beyond the Balkans.

OUR MISSION

Support of the national and local activities for development and implementation of integrated policies to reduce energy consumption, air pollution and GHG emissions.

TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT:

Mobile laboratory for measurement and analysis of AQ
and meteorological mast

Particulate monitor for monitoring of PM_2,5 and PM₁₀

Patriculate monitor for monitoring of NO, NO2, NOx

- Air quality management system - Airviro - 13 disperssion models for air quality monitoring

AIR QUALITY MEASUREMENT

• Air quality modelling at each point
• Measurements for requirements of the integrated permits of enterprises, analysis following alerts from locations without automatic stations for measurement
• Measuring the concentration of the main pollutants: PM2,5, PM10, NO,NO2, NOx;
• Meteorological parameter - temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, atmosphere pressure

EMISSION INVENTORY

The Center’s team has extensive experience in the inventories of emissions by sectors: industry, transport,
households, etc.

AIR QUALITY MODELLING

The Center uses the most popular and functional system in the world for air quality management: Airviro. The system supplies 13 dispersion models (AEROMOD, Austal 2000, CALPUF, Noise Screening
ISO 9613-2, OSPM Street Canyon, SMHI: Danard Wind Model, Street Canyon, Dispersion, Grid,
Heavy Gas, MATCH, Receptor, Gauss).
The modelling can be carried out afor a municipality or larger or smaller territorial units. Modelling covers
all the requirements of municipal programmes for air quality. The modelling can be statistical, nearto-
real-time or forecast. These simulations support decision making and local air quality planning
