ABSTRACT

The analysis of the air quality impact of the industry production reduction was
elaborated by means of the air quality pollution modeling in accord with the Czech
reference methodology SYMOS"97. All relevant pollution sources were included. It
concerned local and contiguous extra large and large air pollution sources (REAPS 1),
medium-sized sources, local heating systems (small sources) and the road traffic. Also
the local pollution background and the transfrontier pollution transmission were
estimated. The air pollution modeling was performed for pollutants PM10, NO2, SO2,
B(a)P and As. For these pollutants the annual average concentrations was modeled for
each group of pollution sources and for the total pollution situation. Modeling was
performed for years 2003, 2005, 2007 and then for 2009 (production reduction). The
outcome of the modeling was the assessment of the air quality in the Ostrava city during
these years and industry production reduction impact to it.
