The Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide in the Air in Durres, Albania
2022
Liti, A | Cara, O
The major sources of indoor carbon dioxide are people, kerosene and gas space heaters, tobacco smoke, and outside air. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a ubiquitous atmospheric pollutant due to the widespread prevalence of both natural and anthropogenic sources, and it can be a respiratory irritant when inhaled at elevated concentrations. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and NO2 may pose direct risks to human health. The study shows that in Durres the values of CO2 in the air are between 350 to 1000 ppm. So we can say that the level of CO2 in Durres is high, but it is normal for cities with high circulation. So it is not considered a big problem for air pollution. On the contrary, the study shows that the NO2 values in Durres are at an average value higher than both Albanian and EU standards.
