- Abstract
Air quality depends on the presence of certain gases (CO2, NOx, SO2, etc.), liquid hydrocarbons, solids (powders, pesticides), the content of chemical elements (As, Sb, Cr, Cd. Cu. Fe, etc.), chemical moieties (sulphates, nitrates), etc. This paper presents an investigation in the central Galati area, over about 90 days in order to reach a good correlation between the atmospheric pollutants factor and human activity. The concentrations of nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, different oxides of nitrogen and ozone and benzene were monitored in the central Galati area. As it can be seen, the highest concentration is between the hours of 6-9 and 21-23. Air pollution in urban and industrialized areas is a very topical issue, primarily because of the negative effects on human health and the quality of environmental components (air, water, soil, vegetation).
