Chapter and Conference Paper
Detailed Assessment of a Smog Situation Detected in the Sajó Valley, Hungary
The impacts of air pollution on the environment and health is a very actual topic in Hungary. By understanding the connections between the pollution that humanity produces and the meteorological situations, we...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Application of Trajectory Clustering for Determining the Source Regions of Secondary Inorganic Aerosols Measured at K-puszta Background Monitoring Station, Hungary
Understanding the formation process of atmospheric particles is vital because of the significant impact of particulate matter on human health and climate change. Atmospheric particles can be formed by nucleati...

Modelling Studies on the Concentration and Deposition of Air Pollutants in East-Central Europe
Model estimations are presented on the annual average atmospheric concentrations and depositions of sulfur and nitrogen species, as well as on toxic elements in Hungary and its surrounding regions. Spatial and...

Chapter
Air Pollution in European Cities — an Overview
Europe is a highly urbanised continent. In 1990, more than 70% of the total population lived in cities. The concentration of human activities on a relatively small area causes an enormous pressure on the natur...

Chapter
Modeling Studies on the Atmospheric Long-Range Transport of Toxic Metals to the Lake Balaton, Hungary
In absolute terms the rate of toxic metals’ deposition is significantly lower than that of e.g. acidifying compounds. However, toxic metals can accumulate in soils, vegetation and surface waters after their we...

Evaluation of the air quality in Budapest based on the data of a monitoring network and measurement campaigns
The present general air pollution conditions in Budapest (more than 2 million inhabitants over 525 km2) are mostly determined by the emissions from mobile line sources (road traffic). The structure of the emissio...

Regional Scale Modeling Case Studies for Aerosol Transport Over Hungary
Aerosol samples were daily taken simultaneously on Nuclepore filters in suburban Budapest and at the regional background air pollution station (K-puszta) 80 km far from Budapest. The samples were analysed amon...

Model Simulation of the Atmospheric Input of Trace Metals into the North, Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas
Since the middle of this century, energy generation, industrial production and transportation have caused serious environmental contamination by trace elements including heavy metals. The rate of contamination...
