Abstract


The most of the air pollution originates from combustion processes, so it is important to make quantitative as well as qualitative analysis, as the sources of pollution can be stochastic - especially the road traffic. The goal of the study is to determine closer road traffic as one of the major sources of the pollution in the city of Niš. The analysis was performed on the vehicle fleet composition and the estimation of the annual mileage on the city territory. These data were used as the input for the COPERT methodology of air pollutant emissions calculation from road transport. Based on these data, annual emissions of CO2 and major pollutants were calculated, as well as the specific average emissions on roads.
