SO₂ Measurement with Sorption - Cumulative and Ultraviolet Fluorescent Method near Nováky Power Plant

Abstract:

Satisfying of increasing demands of society has often resulted in uncontrolled discharges of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The situation is gradually improving over the past 50 years, but the environmental impact is still evident and it must be monitored and evaluated. Reduction of emissions released into the atmosphere and reduction of air pollution impact on the Earth surface occurs due to development of new methods and technologies in the industry and legislation. This paper deals with the possibilities of the two methods of the SO₂ concentration measurements - sorption - cumulative and ultraviolet fluorescent method at the location of the power plant Novaky. In the imission area is built automated measuring station (AMS) Oslany (operated by ENVITECH, managed by Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute Bratislava) as the measure of the total concentration of the pollutant. The research have shown that the maximum concentration detected in this area reached up to 64.46 µg.m^-3 of SO₂
