Air Pollution and Climate Change
The number of transport units in cities is increasing every year. This trend contributes to air pollution problems in many rapidly urbanizing countries. Various heavy metals and other chemical elements, including aluminum, have been related to air quality degradation. Poor air quality affects people, especially young children, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses, causing health problems and aggravating existing problems. The aim of the research is to find out which parts of the city of Jelgava have the highest risk of aluminum pollution in the air. In the research was used Jelgava city snow sampling spatial data of aluminum pollution in air collected over a period of four years. The concentrations of aluminum elements in snow water were determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The results show that the average arithmetic values of aluminum differ significantly when looking at the data from 2018-2021 and range from 0.076 ?g/l to 91.68 ?g/l. The collected data can be used in planning of the urban environment, in the selection of construction technologies, as well as in the implementation of air quality improvement solutions to reduce aluminum pollution in the air at residential areas.
