Poor air quality adversely affects human health, the environment, and the climate. Air pollution also harms ecosystems by contributing to eutrophication and acidification of water and soil, leading to loss of flora and fauna. Vehicles, industry, power plants, agriculture, households, and waste contribute to Europe's air pollution by various pollutants. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted directly into the air from coal and biomass combustion in households and from commercial and institutional buildings, have risen in the EU by around 9 % and 11 % respectively over the period 2003 to 2012. These sources are now the most important contributors to total PM emissions in the EU. However, poor air quality is the result of combining production of pollutants with atmospheric conditions. An important task is therefore to observe air quality - knowledge is the key to the solution. That is why we implement air quality measurements in urban areas, which can lead to an understanding of the origin and transformation of air pollution. Measurements are focused mainly on PM10 and PM2.5, whose concentrations in the air are significantly changed due to the assumptions of their formation and spread.
