Mjerač kvaliteta zraka Univerzitet

The Mašinski fakultet (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering) at the University of Sarajevo has been at the forefront of air quality research in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In December 2019, the faculty inaugurated state-of-the-art equipment for measuring air pollution, marking a significant advancement in environmental monitoring. (unsa.ba)

This cutting-edge equipment includes:

• SMPS System: Measures nanoparticles ranging from 5 nanometers to 35 micrometers.
• Stationary Black Carbon Device: Assesses concentrations of black carbon in the atmosphere.
• Reference Air Sampler: Equipped with dual channels for monitoring PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter.
• Calibration Bath and Reference Thermometer: Ensures precise temperature measurements.
• Mobile Black Carbon Meter for Drones: Allows for aerial measurements of black carbon levels.
• Analytical Balance, Laboratory Thermometer, Oscilloscope, Spectral Analyzer, and Desktop Multimeter: Support various analytical and calibration processes.

The total value of this equipment was approximately 389,529.27 BAM (including VAT). These instruments are among the most advanced globally in the field of air quality measurement, positioning the Mašinski fakultet as a prominent center for studying airborne particulate matter. (unsa.ba)

The data collected using this equipment has been instrumental for the Expert Body for Coordination and Supervision of the Implementation of the Plan of Intervention Measures in Cases of Excessive Air Pollution in the Sarajevo Canton. The results are transparently presented to the public, enhancing awareness and fostering informed discussions on air quality issues. (unsa.ba)

In addition to the Mašinski fakultet's efforts, the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute (FHMZ) has expanded its air quality monitoring network. As of January 2023, FHMZ began official measurements in Mostar, adding to the 30 monitoring stations across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These stations measure concentrations of pollutants such as SO2, NO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5, and O3, providing comprehensive data on air quality throughout the region. (vijesti.ba)

The Mašinski fakultet's commitment to advanced air quality research and the collaborative efforts with institutions like FHMZ underscore the importance of monitoring and improving air quality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These initiatives aim to safeguard public health and contribute to the global understanding of air pollution dynamics.
