“…In addition, a long exposure can cause damage of plants, decrease of yield in agriculture, deterioration of soil structure and contamination of ground or surface water [10]. Many things manufactured from metal are endangered and damaged by accelerated corrosion [11]. Atmospheric deposition of heavy metals in the vicinity of metallurgical plants can influence the vegetation growing and can be responsible for damage of physiological functions of living organisms through food chains [12].…”

The Moravian-Silesian Region is one of the most polluted sites by dust particles in the Czech Republic. Therefore, atmospheric concentrations of heavy metals as cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, antimony, thallium, manganese, iron and zinc, were monitored at 10 localities in the region during summer of 2014. Heavy metals were monitored in 10 particle size classes from 18.3 nm to 9.93 µm. The percentage of the amount of heavy metals in the sum PM at all localities ranged from 0.2-2.5%. It was found that chromium, manganese, iron and zinc were mostly accumulated in dust particles with diameter greater than 1.6 µm. Lead, cadmium and antimony occur mainly in the class below 0.949 µm. These metals are more dangerous for human health, and can have potential carcinogenic effect. The influence of metallurgical industry evaluated on the basis of heavy metals in the individual particle size classes in the air within the Moravian-Silesian Region has not been unequivocally demonstrated.

“…Erzurum is one of the polluted cities located in the eastern part of Turkey. In the literature, the cause of frequent episodes of high atmospheric pollution in Erzurum during the cold period was attributed to unfavorable topographical and meteorological conditions (Bayraktar et al, 2010;Ozden et al, 2005;Turalioglu, 2005), whereas in the summer season, PM pollution was attributed to traffic and soil sources (Bayraktar et al, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, the study of surface ozone is important due to its long-term and short-term impacts on human health, well-being, vegetation and the environment when its exposure to the high ozone concentration [9,10,11]. Thus, to predict the ozone concentration, it is important to apply a model that describes the relationships within the ozone concentrations and many variables that cause its production.…”

Abstract. In Malaysia, ground-level ozone (O3) is one of the most significant air pollutants due to the increasing sources of ozone precursors. Hence, the surface O3 concentration should have received substantial attention because of its negative effects to human health, vegetation and the environment. In this study, hourly air pollutants dataset (i.e O3, Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Particulate matter (PM10), Nonmethane hydrocarbon (NmHC), Sulphur dioxide (SO2)) and weather parameters (i.e. wind speed (WS), wind direction (WD), temperature (T), ultraviolet B (UVB)) for ten years period (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012) in Klang Valley were selected for analysis in this study. Two monitoring stations were selected that are Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam. The aim of the study is to determine the diurnal variations of O3 concentrations according to the seasonal monsoon and the correlation between the ground-level O3 concentration and others parameter. A high concentration of ground-level O3 was observed during the first transition (April to May) for both of the stations. While at a low surface, O3 concentration was found out during the southwest monsoon within June to September. Pearson correlation was used to find the correlation between the O3 concentration and all other pollutants and weather parameters. Most of the relationship between O3concentrationswas positively correlated with NO2 and negative relationship was found out with NMHC. These results were expected since these pollutants are known as the O3 precursors. Besides that, O3 concentration and its precursors show a positive significant correlation with all meteorological factors except for relative humidity.
