Abstract

Language:

The main aim of this paper is to present the analyses of temporal variations of particulate matter in Bor (Serbia) influenced by the copper production at the Copper Smelter Complex Bor. Particulate emissions are of concern because the presence of fine particles (PM 2.5 – particles with diameter less than 2.5 µm) and ultrafine particles (PM 0.1 – particles with diameter less than 0.1 µm) assume higher risk for human health. The analysis is based on the comparison of SO 2 and PM measurements at several locations in the area of Bor town in the close vicinity of Copper Smelter. PM concentrations were highly correlated with sulfur dioxide and inversely correlated with local wind speed during pollution episodes. The results presented indicate that the dominant source of coarse and fine particles in Bor town is the Copper Smelting Complex Bor. The most significant factors for particulate matter distribution are meteorological parameters of the wind speed and direction. It was found that the daily limit values exceed of concentrations of PM 10 (50 µg/m3) usually occurs due to very high concentrations in a period of several hours during the day.
