Abstract
Civilisational progress contributes to an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, thereby intensifying air pollutant emissions and accelerating the degradation of the natural environment. Effective protection of urban areas against air pollution enhances safeguarding against numerous allergies and diseases resulting from unplanned and unintended absorption of harmful pollutants into the human body. Sustainable urban planning requires the collaboration of multiple scientific disciplines. In this context, measurement becomes crucial, as it reveals the spatial scale of the problem and identifies existing disparities. This study uses an integrated approach of standard measurement methods and statistical and geostatistical data analysis, identifying PM1 fractions that are not included in EU air quality monitoring. The hypothesis explores how surface-based results correspond to point-based results from national air quality monitoring. The presented implications demonstrate similarities and differences between the studied measurement methods and the spatial distributions of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 dust.
