Item type:Publication, Investigating relationships between PM10 and Climatic parameters using PCA in the three largest urban areas in North Macedonia(2025-06-26); ; ; Kuzmanoski, ArseThis study applies Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to evaluate how meteorological factors influence PM10 pollution in Skopje, Kumanovo and Bitola from 2012 to 2020. PCA reduces data complexity while identifying key weather variables that impact air pollution levels. Findings indicate that temperature and wind speed have the strongest negative correlation with PM10 concentrations, meaning lower temperatures and weaker winds are linked to higher pollution levels. These conditions limit pollutant dispersion, leading to worse air quality. Humidity and precipitation have mixed effects—humidity can promote both the removal and formation of pollutants, while precipitation aids in PM10 reduction through wet season, depending on intensity and duration. The extracted principal components explain a significant portion of pollution variability, highlighting the dominant meteorological influences on air quality trends. By clarifying these relationships, PCA enhances the understanding of air pollution dynamics in the three largest urban areas in North Macedonia. This analysis provides valuable insights for air quality management in North Macedonia. By identifying the key meteorological drivers of pollution, policymakers can develop more targeted and effective strategies to mitigate PM10 levels and improve public health. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURES ON AIR QUALITY IN THE SKOPJE AGGLOMERATION(Macedonian Geographical Society, 2025-02-01); ; ; Kuzmanoski, ArseAir pollution in the Skopje agglomeration represents a decades-long, complex problem, which requires a profound approach. The expansion of the urban space, which has been especially intensified in the last decade, as well as other socio-economic factors in the capital, have led to an additional serious threat to the health of the population through air pollution. This paper aims to analyze the socio-economic characteristics of the Skopje agglomeration, which exert a great pressure on the environment, and are reflected with the greatest consequences on the air quality in the agglomeration. The location for the research was determined due to the fact that the largest population of residents from the Republic of North Macedonia is concentrated in the Skopje agglomeration and it has high concentrations of air pollutants from all types of pollution sources and pollutants, where the concentration of the population and industrial facilities cause a threat to the quality of the basic components of the environment. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
