Air pollution is one of the main reasons of pulmonary diseases, malignant tumours, allergic and other chronic deceases. In 2003, with the help of a mobile laboratory, investigation on air pollution and its distribution in Šiauliai city environment was accomplished. Measurements were performed once a month in exploratory positions deployed at 1 km intervals one from another. Average onetime annual pollutant concentration was measured, estimating one square kilometer. Concentration of CO in Šiauliai surroundings varied from 0,5 mg/m3 to 5,8 mg/m3 or by 51 % of Šiauliai area varied from 0,8 mg/m3 to 1,4 mg/m3. Concentration of NO2varied from 0,005 mg/m3 to 0,84 mg/m3 or by 57 % of the city area it varied from 0,010 mg/m3 to 0,020 mg/m3. Concentration of NO varied from 0,003 mg/m3 to 0,495 mg/m3. Concentration of SO2 varied from 0,0015 mg/m3 to 0,012 mg/m3. Concentration of O3 varied from 0,022 mg/m3 to 0,134 mg/m3. The total concentration of hydrocarbons varied from 1,5 ppm to 3,5 ppm. The highest level of pollution was observed in the central part of the city.

Abstract Environmental air pollution is a global health concern, a complex phenomenon which is directly reflected on public health, economic and human development. Environmental air pollution has been drastically multiplied, followed by the beginning of the new Millennia in Prishtina, the capital city of the Kosovo. The new millennium began as a crucial activity for the city of Prishtina in terms of demographic, human geography, social and economic phenomena. The presented study aims to determine prevalent traffic and land morphology composition attributes, which have influenced and continue to have environmental impact in the city of Prishtina. According to the conceptual findings from the empirical observations, the heavy city traffic and the land morphology structure, determine the urban air pollution level. Prishtina is generally polluted due to its geomorphic position in relation to the power plants Kosovo A, and Kosova B. The impact of the above cited factors, is even bigger when the dominant winds prevail through valley, which encompasses the city. The findings from this paper propose the necessity of careful driven urban solutions.
