Monitoring results show that principal aerosol sources in the city of Shkodra are traffic and residential activities. Overall measurement results show a particularly problematic situation, where PM concentrations in the city clearly exceed international recommendations. To improve this situation, it is recommended to order traffic, re-construct existing roads, substitute old vehicles with new ones, and improve also the fuel quality.<br \/>\n<a title=\"read full article\" href=\"..\/ARTICLES\/Journal_june_2011\/85-94.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>PM concentrations, monitoring campaign, air quality<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florian Mandija1, Jozef Bushati2, Piro Zoga3 and Floran Vila4 1Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Shkodra, Albania 2Advising Information Students Center, University of Shkodra \u201cLuigj Gurakuqi\u201d, Albania 3Department of Engineering and Mineral Sources, Faculty of Geology and Mines, Polytechnic University, Albania 4Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Tirana, Albania&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181,1],"tags":[100,99,98],"class_list":["post-1334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-published","category-uncategorized","tag-air-quality","tag-monitoring-campaign","tag-pm-concentrations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1334"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3779,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions\/3779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsijournal.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
