AIR QUALITY STUDY IN CRAIOVA MUNICIPALITY BASED ON DATA PROVIDED BY URADM INDEPENDENT SENSOR NETWORK

This paper presents the assessment of the concentration of PM 2.5 particles at the level of the Craiova Municipality, reported over a period of 8 months, comparing it with the established limit value and with the specific quality index for PM 2.5, as well as the quantitative assessment of the data provided by the independent sensors in relation to the local stations in the RNMCA. The PM 2.5 values used are provided by specially chosen sensors, located in the "red" areas of the city, frequently indicated by Craiova residents for poor air quality, evaluated through the lens of discomfort felt.
