COLLECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF AIR QUALITY DATA

Zrak je smjesa plinova bez boje i mirisa, neophodna za život ljudi, biljaka i životinja. Zbog ljudskog zdravlja, ali i očuvanja okoliša iznimno je važno kontrolirati kakvoću zraka. Kroz povijest ljudska aktivnost nije značajno utjecala na okoliš sve do razvoja industrije. Prve promjene koje je čovjek izazvao su nastale uslijed fizičke aktivnosti, fizioloških potreba. No razvojem i stvaranjem društvenih zajednica počinje nagli utjecaj na životni okoliš. Ovaj završni rad sastoji se od nekoliko cjelina u kojima su opisane i definirane karakteristike zraka, faktori koji utječu na njegovo onečišćenje, kao i njegov utjecaj na okoliš.Air is a mixture of gases without colour and odour, essential for the life of human, plants and animals. Thus for protection of human health and preservation of the environment, it is extremely important to control the quality of the air. Throughout history human activity had no significant impact on the environment up until the upsurge of industry. The first changes made by man were due to physical activity, physiological needs. But creation and development of social communities starts a sudden impact on the living environment. This thesis consists of several modules which describe and define the characteristics of the air, the factors that influence its pollution and it is impact on the environment
