DEVELOPMENT OF CLIMATE AND AIR POLLUTION CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR IMPACT ON MINING OPERATIONS AND RECLAMATION WORK IN THE REGION OF NORTHWESTERN BOHEMIA
Abstract
The Brown Coal Research Institute j.s.c. is currently conducting long-term research on the development of the Czech Republic’s climate and its impacts on mining activities. The research deals with the overall assessment of climate change in the Czech Republic and the main attention is paid to the area of the Most Basin, which is known as the largest Czech brown coal deposit. In addition, the basic air pollution characteristics in this area are monitored for a long time and trends in relation to climate change are compared. The trend of climate change in the Czech Republic is taking place in the context of climate change in Europe. The Czech Republic is located in Central Europe. The location of the European continent is the main cause of significant regional climate variability. Due to the extremely dense network of long-term measuring stations in Europe, analyzes of trend trends (perhaps with the exception of North America) are significantly more accurate than anywhere else on the planet. The presented results of monitoring climate change and air pollution characteristics suggest that especially the development of air pollution characteristics (concentration of suspended particles fraction PM10 and PM2.5, concentrations of SO2, NO2, NO, NOX, O3) is strictly regional and the connection with climate change affects practically O3 concentration only. The research was realised with support of EU research program The impact of EXtreme weather events on MINing operations, project No 847250-TEXMIN-RFCS-2018.
