Extending the use of air quality indices to reflect effective population exposure.

摘要: Although there are tendencies to develop a single common index which would describe an overall air quality status within area, constructed from choice of measurements individual pollutants, indices describing pollutants themselves have several potentials can be used in ways not possible with pollutant concentrations. On the case Belgrade, Serbia, we investigated possibilities using such for comparisons between characterization monitoring sites, and extending their use include elements population exposure. A methodology adjusting results obtained at stations located severe pollution conditions, like street canyons, is proposed used.
