Item type:Publication, Green Infrastructure Impact on Air Pollution Reduction Considering the Effects of Meteorological and Climate Factors(2019-10); ; ; A major concern in urban areas is the low quality of air with high levels of particulate matter and various pollutants that have significant impacts on human health and global environment. Thus, there is an urgent need to reduce air pollution by implementing various short- and long-term actions. Skopje is also struggling with unprecedented increase in air pollution. This is the major motivation for the research presented in the paper. The objective is to provide an assessment of the influence of green walls on air quality in urban areas and correlate it with meteorological factors. Research has shown that one of the methods for decreasing air pollution in urban areas is by implementation of green walls, as plants absorb the particulate matter through their leaves and growing medium. The paper presents research undertaken to assess the influence of the meteorological factors, such as wind speed and direction, relative humidity, and temperature on air quality and to determine which one has the highest impact on particulate matter reduction. With daily monitoring of temperature, humidity, and heat variations near and within the green wall and a reference case, it is possible to analyse the effect of the green walls on air pollution reduction. The air quality monitoring system used to perform the experiments is a low-cost and energy-efficient solution that uses wireless sensor network technology that can be easily deployed in highly polluted areas. The paper presents results of the data analysis of the effect of meteorological and climatic factors in particulate matter reduction and the influence of the wind conditions, seasonal variations, and plant characteristics. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Low-cost energy-efficient air quality monitoring system using sensor network(Inderscience Publishers, 2021); ;Mateska, Aleksandra Krkoleva; ;Krstevska, Maja CeleskaThe air pollution has a significant impact on human’s health and global environment. In urban areas the air quality significantly decreased over the past few years. One of the methods for air pollution reduction is by installing green walls, green roofs or by implementing green buildings as plants have capabilities to absorb the particulate matter through their leaves. The main goals of this paper are to present system for air quality monitoring using sensor network technology that can be easily deployed in polluted areas and to examine the influence of the experimental green wall setup to particulate matter more precisely PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia. Furthermore, the paper presents the preliminary results of the ongoing experiment developed to evaluate the impact of green walls in reduction of air polluting particles' concentrations. The air quality monitoring system can be easily replicated on other locations in the urban areas of Skopje. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Location Impact on Particulate Matter (PM) Concentration Reduction Dduring COVID-19 Pandemic(IEEE, 2022-06-16); ;Mateska, Aleksandra Krkoleva ;Krstevska, Maja CeleskaSignificant topic of interest in many European countries is monitoring the air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM) concentrations, mostly because of its harmful effects on the human health. Measurement of the particulate matter concentrations can be done in a different ways, one of the possible solutions is by using low-cost and energy-efficient monitoring system using sensor network. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the influence of the green areas on particulate matter mitigation, analyzing the period of pandemic COVID-19 restrictions. The paper analyze the connection among the impact of the location of the sensor nodes and green areas and other objects to the particulate matter concentrations using various statistical tools and hypothesis testing. The tests are based on the data collected during summer 2020 at the technical campus of the Ss Cyril and Methodius University. This is the period when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 pandemic, and the universities were closed. In this research it can be confirmed that green areas at the Faculty pacio, reduced traffic vehicles and not having presence of the faculty staff in this period have a high impact in the reduction of particulate matter. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Assessing the Impact of Air Pollution in North Macedonia: A Meteorological and Green Infrastructure Study(2023-09); ; ; ; Viktor AndonovicThis paper presents a meteorological and green infrastructure study to evaluate the impact of air pollution in North Macedonia. The study focuses on the spatial and temporal patterns of air pollution in the country and it investigates the influence of various factors on air pollution mitigation. Namely, it considers the effects of the pandemic, as well as measures that tackle air pollution directly, or have other broader goals, but still impact air pollution. The paper utilizes a variety of data sources, including meteorological data – temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction; air quality monitoring data – concentrations of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO); and existence and influence of green infrastructure. In addition, the study incorporates advanced statistical and geospatial techniques to create an accurate assessment of the impacts of air pollution in North Macedonia. The statistical analyses reveal the correlations between the collected data and their statistical significance. The investigation confirms the negative correlation between PM on one side and higher air temperatures/wind speed on the other. It provides evidence of the higher concentrations of pollutants during night hours. The positive effects of reduced traffic and use of fossil fuels for heating in winter months are also observed with the analyses of the acquired data. The results of the analyses are used to discuss possible directions for air pollution reduction. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Machine learning model for air pollution prediction in Skopje, North Macedonia(2020-07) ;Andonovic, Viktor; ; ; The low quality of air, especially high concentration of particulate matter that have significant negative effect on human health and environment, is a global problem in urban areas. Thus, early air pollution prediction is an urgent need in Skopje, North Macedonia with highly increased concentration of particulate matter especially during the winter months. The objective of this paper is to develop machine learning model for predicting the air pollution in Skopje. The methods are based on processing the collected data from different measurement locations in Skopje, generating numerous weather and pollution features, and choosing the optimal parameters (hyperparameters) for the model. The information for the various pollutants were provided from the measurement stations located near the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies building. The measured data are gathered from the three sensor nodes that are collecting data for following parameters: particulate matter with 10 or less micrometres (PM10), particulate matter with 2.5 or less micrometres (PM2.5), CO and NO2, and sending these data to a server for online monitoring or off-line analysis. The pollution data, together with the weather information for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction were combined to train the prediction model. The results show that the weather information is correlated with the air pollution, which allows to train a model that predicts the air pollution based on the weather data and the historical data about the pollution. The experimental evaluation showed that the best performing model, XGBoost, achieves Mean Absolute Error for PM10 values of 6.8, 9.7, and 12.4 for the nodes 3, 2, and 1 respectively, and for PM2.5 values 6.36, 8.81 and 8 for nodes 3, 2 and 1 respectively. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Estimation of the Effect of COVID-19 Lockdown Impact Measures on Particulate Matter (PM) Concentrations in North Macedonia(MDPI AG, 2023-01-17); ;Andonović, Viktor ;Celeska Krstevska, Maja ;Dimcev, VladimirKrkoleva Mateska, Aleksandra<jats:p>Air pollution is one of the most important topics as it can cause various reactions of the organisms, such as mental health disorders, respiratory problems or various cardiovascular despises. Many of the side effects of pollution are caused by particulate matter (PM). Therefore air pollution, especially the concentration of PM is monitored in many European countries. In the past years, Skopje has been one of the top-ranked cities in the world concerning the concentration of PM. This paper investigates the effect of the pandemic with COVID-19 and the restriction measures on air quality. The data collected before the pandemic (May 2018), during the global pandemic (May 2020 and May 2021), and after the period with restriction measures (May 2022) are analyzed. The measurement parameters are collected at the technical campus of the Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia, in May 2018, May 2020, May 2021, and May 2022. In this research, it can be confirmed that the restriction measures had a significant positive impact on air pollution.</jats:p>
