Description
Summary:The degree of coverage of the urban greenspace area and the factors which affect the concentration of particles in the air in those limited greenspace areas are rarely studied, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper is based on researching the effects and different impacts of the microclimate parameters on the concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in the studied city parks and their multidisciplinary impact on the most important aspect – The Public Health. In Novi Sad, Serbia, three parks of different sizes and locations have been chosen, depending on the traffic frequency. The measurement results of particle pollution (PM) pointed out the variations of levels of concentration of the PM pollutants, PM2.5 particles were in range from 2 to 10 μg/m3 and PM10 were in range from 3 to 12 μg/m3 . Some of the measured values are exceptionally low so it can be concluded that the air was clean. The time of the measurements of the PM pollutants in the parks was in a period from 11a.m to 2 p.m., with temperature oscillation between 15o -24.3oC and air humidity from 41-50%.
