Funding details:

The main objective of the project is to collect data about the dust on specific locations before construction of selected roads.

It is also intended to develop a software tool for automatic adjustment of the results of GC/MS.

Following steps were made during the project:

Monitoring a chemical and noise emissions produced by traffic at the selected locations in order to process the forecasts temporal evolution of these emissions.
Presceening measuring of the vertical distribution PM2.5 and its chemical composition.
Horizontal distribution of the PM10.
Measuring and chemical analysis of solids in selected locations; modelling of motion and distribution of suspended particles.
Shooting trapped particulates by scan electron microscope and EDX spot analysis of selected parts.
Quantification capped no limited hydrocarbons characterize emissions from transportation in the air and on the particles.
Measurement of solids in the interiors of vehicles and their temporal changes.
Assessment of the influence of road surfaces on traffic noise.
Research on the combined effect of noise and air pollution.
