Abstract

Franklin D. Roosevelt davno je rekao: “Nacija koja uništava svoje tlo uništava sebe. Šume su pluća naše zemlje, čiste zrak i daju svježu snagu našem narodu.”. Zrak je neophodan za život i svaki pojedinac trebao bi učiniti sve u svojoj moći kako bi zrak koji svi udišemo, ostao čist. Čovjek je, svojim djelima, uzrokovao mnoge negativne posljedice koje i dan danas doprinose onečišćenju i ekstremnom smanjenju kvalitete zraka.
Svrha ovog rada bila je procijeniti kvalitetu zraka na temelju analize satnih validiranih koncentracija: ugljikovog monoksida, dušikovih oksida, dušikovog dioksida, sumporovog dioksida, ozona, lebdećih čestica PM2.5 i PM10 izmjerenih u razdoblju od 7. srpnja 2018. godine do 1. listopada 2020. godine na Plitvičkim jezerima. Mjerna postaja nalazi se u mjestu Čujića Krčevina oko 5 km jugoistočno od jezera Kozjak. U krugu od 1 - 5 km nalazi se niz restorana i hotela što povećava razinu koncentracije onečišćujućih tvari koji su rezultat antropogenih čimbenika. Prirodni fenomeni kao što su cvjetanje biljaka, dizanje prašine, sezonske promjene u vegetaciji i slično, samo kratkotrajno povećavaju koncentraciju onečišćujućih tvari u zraku. Onečišćenju zraka na Plitvičkim jezerima više doprinose antropogeni učinci, ali je zrak tamo ipak kvalitetan.

Abstract (english)

Franklin D. Roosevelt said a long time ago: “A nation that destroys its soil destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our country, they clean the air and give fresh strength to our people." Air is necessary for life and every individual should do everything in their power to keep the air we all breathe clean. Man, through his actions, has caused many negative consequences that even today contribute to pollution and extreme lowering of air quality.
The aim of this work was to assess air quality based on the analysis of hourly validated concentrations of: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 measured in the period from July 7, 2018 to October 1, 2020 at the Plitvice Lakes. The measuring site is located in the village of Čujića Krčevina, about 5 km southeast of Lake Kozjak. Within a radius of 1 - 5 km there are a number of restaurants and hotels, which increases the level of concentration of pollutants that are the result of anthropogenic factors. Natural phenomena such as the flowering of plants, rising dust, seasonal changes in vegetation and other, only temporarily increase the concentration of pollutants in the air. Anthropogenic effects contribute more to the pollution of Plitvice Lakes region. However, the quality of the air there is high.
