Summary:Emissions from industrial activities, energy production, transport, waste management activities, and natural sources contribute to the many air-pollution-induced problems, such as reduced visibility, adverse health effects, and global climate change. Results The publications of the issue cover the subjects of air pollution with particulates and gaseous pollutants (five), Particulate Matter (PM) sources and source apportionment (three), Carbonaceous species (Organic and Elemental or Black Carbon) in the atmosphere (two), and Ozone-related pollution (one). [...]it is suggested that despite the substantial contribution of traffic to the overall PM concentrations in the area, modernization of the fleet leads to only minor effects because PM pollution in Warsaw originates mainly from the municipal sector and transboundary inflow. Additionally, the concentration of resuspended dust on roads may differ significantly from that of the adjacent Bg observation caused by vehicles driving on roads. [...]it is suggested that a more frequent occurrence of high levels of resuspended dust may occur, and research should be continued to quantify the influence of dust collected through mobile measurements and to provide accurate forecasts.
