Topic of this paper is air pollution as a cause of urban stress. This problem is analyzed within a case study in Bulevar Nemanjića in Niš. For the observed location, the measurements were conducted in a period of eight months (May 2007 – June 2007) by the Health Protection Institute in Nis. Motor traffic exhaust gases which were observed were: carbon-monoxide (CO), nitro-oxide (Nox) formaldehyde (HCHO). Measurements were taken at "Bulevar" green market, b standard methodology prescribed by the boundary values code book, immision measurement method, criteria for creation of measuring points and data records. Concentration of exhaust gases of motor vehicles did not exceed permissible limits, except carbon monoxide in May, while it continued to decrease and remained within the legal limits. If the Mediana – Bulevar Nemanjica location was enriched by green surface and pedestrian zones, this would lead to the decrease of exhaust gases concentration. That would prevent endangering environment and facilitate its healthy functioning.
Key words: urban stress, air pollution, environmental protection.
AEROZAGAĐENJE KAO UZROK URBANOG STRESA. STUDIJA SLUČAJA: BULEVAR NEMANJIĆA, NIŠ, SRBIJA
Tema ovog rada jeste aerozagadjenje kao uzrok urbanog stresa. Ovaj problem se analizira kroz studiju slučaja, aerozagadjenja na Bulevaru Nemanjića u Nišu. Za posmatranu lokaciju merenja su izvršena u periodu od osam meseci (maj 2007. - jun 2007.) od strane Zavoda za zaštitu zdravlja u Nišu. Izduvni gasovi motornih vozila koji su obrađivani su: ugljen monoksid (CO), azotni oksid (Nox) formaldehid (HCHO). Merenja su vršena kod "Bulevarske" pijace, standardnim metodama propisanim pravilnikom o graničnim vrednostima, metodama merenja imisije, kriterijuma za uspostavljanje mernih mesta i evidencije podataka. Koncentracija izduvnih gasova motornih vozila nije prelazila dozvoljene granice, osim ugljen monoksida u maju mesecu gde se nakon toga nastavio trend opadanja i zadržavanja u okvirima dozvoljenog. Sa obogaćivanjem lokacije Medijana – Bulevar Nemanjića u Nišu zelenim površinama, pešačkim zonama oplemenjenog sadržaja dovelo bi do opadanja koncentracije izduvnih gasova motornih vozila. To bi sprečilo ugrožavanje životne sredine i njeno zdravije funkcionisanje.
Ključne reči: urbani stres, aerozagadjenje, zaštita životne sredine
