Transboundary Transport of Air Pollutants from the Czech Republic to Poland through Brama Morawska

The paper presents measurement data on transboundary transport of SO2 and NO2 to Poland Through Brama Morawska.Due to the application of correlation spectrometer measurements,oriented approach of pollutant loads assessments was possible.Annual loads of SO2 and NO2 inflow were found to be 105 x 10 and 16 x 10 tons respectively.Emissions from Ostrava and Karvina districts as well as from Dietmarovice power plant mostly caused these values.Pollutant plumes from Trzniec seemed to inflow to Poland mainly through valleys of the Beskidy Mts. It was found that there was no significant relationship between plume appearance recorded by correlative spectrometers and pollutants concentration at the ground level in the area 3-5Km from the Polish-Czech border-line.JRC.(EI)-Environment Institut
