Since the establishment of heavy industry in South Durban in the early 1950s airpollution has been problematic. The community struggle against airpollution was strenghthened by a more dogmatic attitude from industry, and ultimately supported
by direct intervention from government in the form of the Multi-Point Plan in 2000, with the result that has been a generally declining trend in airpollution. - (AJC)
Airpollution is due to road traffic an inevitable outcome of internal combustion in engines of vehicles and some other processes. Air near the roads is more polluted with some pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate
matter and some others. Monitoring the air quality is a key issue, when one wants to estimate environmental impacts of the road traffic. The article shows a method of passive samplers for air quality monitoring along different roads in the area

Airpollution in Hungary is heaviest along the energy axis of the country. This zone also includes Tatabanya, where, owing to the emission of pollutants by industrial plants, airpollution has reached a very high degree. The problems of pollution

An improved method for generalized assessment of airpollution for the needs of the planning and management of national economy on various decision-making levels has been suggested. Comprehensive indices of airpollution considering the different
hazardousness of pollutants to the human organism in case of equal violations of standards are presented. An approach for constructing comprehensive airpollution indices is described, and possibilities of its practical application on the example of some major

School children (age between 6 and 16 years) participated in an airpollution survey in the Brussels region. The lichenometric method used shows that airpollution, especially SO2 pollution, influences lichen growth and development. A map
of the growth rate of the epilithic species Lecanora muralis was drawn for the greater Brussels area and compared with SO2 pollution in this area. The lichenometric method contributes to the general development and education of children. - (Les AA.).

La 1ère partie passe en revue les différents aéro-contaminants chimiques (pollution atmosphérique extérieure et intérieure) et biologiques (flore fongique, pollens, allergènes domestiques, endotoxines, microorganismes pathogènes). La 2ème partie
examine les principales pathologies susceptibles d'être provoquées par ces polluants. La (brève) 3ème partie est consacrée à la gestion des risques sanitaires liés à la mauvaise qualité de l'air. - (JPB)
Le soufre est responsable des plus hauts niveaux de pollution, avec des concentrations croissantes de 1981 à 1989, stationnaires ensuite. La pollution par l'azote atteint des niveaux moins élevés, avec une répartition géographique plus homogène

This study proposes a regional airpollution exposure index (RAPEI) for Auckland, Canterbury, Otago and Wellington regions. The airpollution index multiplies an emission index (NOx emissions kg/annum), a surrogate for ambient airpollution levels
areas that may be potential hot spots in terms of relatively high ambient airpollution levels and potentially high population exposures.

The results of mobile measurements of airpollution were obtained at 60points in Prague for 1976. Highest concentrations were measured in the centre. The main cause were small boilers for central and local heating and the influence of traffic
