THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC DYNAMIC ON AIR QUALITY AND VULNERABLE OBJECTS NEAR BUSY STREET IN NOVI SAD
Abstract
In this paper, the distribution of nitrogen dioxide originating from vehicles from a busy street in Novi Sad, located near residential buildings and kindergartens, was performed. Based on the calculated level of nitrogen dioxide emissions from the vehicle, as well as the most frequent meteorological conditions, simulation of nitrogen dioxide propagation was carried out using ADMS urban software. Considering that the street is a part of the bridge whose elevation is gradually increasing, this research reveals permanently and intense exposure of certain parts of the residential buildings. The results presented in this paper can serve as a useful basis for taking measures to reduce the impact of traffic on air quality and human health through urban planning particulary of vulnerable facilities.
