in 2 km.
Both meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed) and
concentration of pollutants were modelled.
Outcomes of the assessment allow evaluating not only long-term indicators
(annual average) but also characteristics that have not yet been assessed sufficiently
accurately, such as exceedance period of an air pollution limit and n
th highest values
of short-term average values in accordance with legislation. Also ozone concentrations can be evaluated. The results are available both for current state, for future
scenario of land use plan and other scenarios being assessed.
The evaluation points out the following:
By 2020 or by the horizon of land use plan fulfilment, respectively, reduction of
concentrations of pollutants in Prague can be expected with the exception of vicinity of large transport structures where the impact of newly introduced car traffic
outweighs.
