Air quality in the area of the city Koprivnica

Abstract

Zrak, kao ključna komponenta Zemljine atmosfere, izravno utječe na kvalitetu života i zdravlje stanovništva. Grad Koprivnica, iako srednje veličine, suočava se sa specifičnim izazovima vezanima uz onečišćenje zraka, osobito tijekom zimskih mjeseci. Prema dostupnim podacima, glavni izvor zagađenja su kućna ložišta, dok je promet i industrija u manjoj mjeri zastupljena. U 2021. godini zabilježena su prekoračenja graničnih vrijednosti lebdećih čestica PM₁₀ i PM₂.₅, dok je u 2022. došlo do znatnog poboljšanja. U sklopu diplomskog rada provedeno je anketno istraživanje među 75 ispitanika s područja Koprivnice, koje je pokazalo visoku razinu svijesti građana o važnosti kvalitete zraka te potrebu za dodatnim mjerama i edukacijom. Sustavni pristup, edukacija i prilagodba lokalnih politika ključni su za održivo upravljanje kvalitetom zraka.Air, as a vital component of Earth's atmosphere, directly affects quality of life and public health. Although the City of Koprivnica is of moderate size, it faces specific air pollution challenges, particularly during the winter months. According to available data, the main source of pollution is residential heating, while traffic and industry contribute to a lesser extent. In 2021, exceedances of the limit values for particulate matter PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ were recorded, whereas in 2022, air quality significantly improved. As part of this thesis, a survey was conducted among 75 respondents from the Koprivnica area. The results showed a high level of public awareness regarding the importance of air quality and highlighted the need for further measures and education. A systematic approach, combined with informed citizens and responsible local policies, is essential for sustainable air quality management
