Analysis of air quality in Ostrava on the basis of long term time trends
Pěčka, Petr ; Braniš, Martin (advisor) ; Hůnová, Iva (referee)
Air pollution is one of the major environmental problems. It can result in adverse health impacts such as morbidity, mortality, cancer and carcinogenic effects. High population density in cities contributes to the importance of the problem in urbanized areas.. The third biggest city of the Czech Republic, Ostrava, which is the subject of this thesis, is one of the most polluted areas in the country. The main air pollutants of concern are suspended particles and poly aromatic hydrocarbons. Ostrava is also one of the most polluted areas from the European perspective. It is an industrial city, where significant portion of the national heavy industry is concentrated. Local heating and traffic are other sources of air pollution. There is also a potential influence from a near-by industrial area in Poland. This thesis deals with long term time series, including air pollutants (PM10, SO2, NO2 and CO), meteorological variables (temperature, rainfall, duration of sunshine) and socio-economic factors (e.g. unemployment rate, number of registered vehicles, investments into environment, fuel consumption in industry, e.t.c.). This study also looks at the close down effect of industrial operations in Ostrava within last 35 years. Both concentration of pollutants and emissions showed significantly decreasing trend since...

Analysis of air pollution in Ostrava: operation of industrial enterprises
Pěčka, Petr ; Hůnová, Iva (advisor) ; Frouz, Jan (referee)
Air pollution is one of the major environmental issues. It can cause adverse health effects such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and high mortality rates. High population density is a huge contributory factor of air pollution in cities and urbanized areas. The third biggest city of the Czech Republic, Ostrava the subject of this thesis, is one of the most densely polluted areas of the country. The main air pollutants of concern are suspended particles and poly aromatic hydrocarbons. Ostrava's high proportion of heavy industry is a major source of air pollution compared to the rest of the Czech Republic. Other sources of air pollution are transport, local heating and possibly a pollution transfer from a neighboring industrial region in Poland. This thesis deals mainly with long term time series, including air pollutants (PM10, SO2, NOx), and meteorological variables. Information about the opening and closing of industrial plants can be considered as an added value to this work. The purpose of this data thesis is to compare the concentration levels before and after the closing or opening of particular industrial plants in the city of Ostrava during the last 35 years. So far no one has utilized these data sets for comprehensive analyses. Key words: Urban area, Emission, PM10, SO2, Industry
