Air Pollution by Particulate Matter (Pm10) in Craiova Municipality

In the present study we have monitored particulate matters in different locations in the city of Craiova and Preajba area. We have considered necessary to establish this theme due to the intense traffic, the rehabilitation and modification of public water systems, sewage system and gas network from the over ground and underground passage, and the two CETs from Craiova municipality, which are sources of particulate matter emissions. The measurements carried out reveal a significant content of particulate matters in the Electro Bridge and Km 0 Craiova (urban background), CET I (industrial) and insignificant in the Preajba area. There were recorded daily average and maximum values, as well as hourly values, which were compared with the limit values set by Order 592/2002, there were observed exceedances up to 200%  from the maximum value allowable.
