o:492 SO2 Concentrations in Bor, Serbia, in the period 2011-2020 Koncentracije SO2 u Boru, Srbija, u periodu 2011-2020 en Abstract: In this paper, the analysis of SO2 concentrations in the Bor town (Serbia) is presented for the period 2011-2020. The results of measurements from the period of operation of the old copper smelter (2011-2015) were compared with the results of measurements during the period of operation of the new copper smelter (2016-2020). As a result of changes in the copper smelting technology and the better treatment of waste gases in the smelter, on average, the level of SO2 was reduced by 67% in the period 2016-2020 compared with the SO2 level in the period 2011-2015. The presence of a weak (r<0.4) Pearson correlation between the SO2 levels among the sampling points were determined in both periods of observation. U ovom radu prikazana je analiza koncentracija SO2 u gradu Boru (Srbija) za period 2011- 2020. Rezultati merenja iz perioda rada stare topionice bakra (2011-2015) upoređeni su sa rezultatima merenja iz perioda rada nove topionice bakra (2016-2020). Kao rezultat promena tehnologije topljenja bakra i boljeg tretmana otpadnih gasova u topionici, u proseku je nivo SO2 smanjen za 67% u periodu 2016-2020 u poređenju sa nivoom SO2 u periodu 2011-2015. U oba perioda posmatranja utvrđeno je prisustvo slabe (r <0.4) Pearsonove korelacije nivoa SO2 između tačaka uzorkovanja. Problem zagađenja vazduha sumpor-dioksidom iz pogona topionice bakra u Boru samo je delimično rešen puštanjem u rad nove topionice i fabrike sumporne kiseline. Iz tog razloga neophodno je preduzeti dodatne akcije s ciljem da se svi izvori emisije SO2 u topionici obuhvate sistemima za tretman otpadnih gasova. Key words: sulfur dioxide, monitoring, air pollution, copper smelter Ključne reči: sumpor-dioksid, monitoring, zagađenje vazduha, topionica bakra 91552100 66341129 2022-06-28T10:17:48.512Z 44 yes 46 Aleksandar Simonovski Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor ; Mining and metallurgy Institute Bor Viša Tasić Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor ; Mining and metallurgy Institute Bor person Tatjana Apostolovski Trijić Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor ; Mining and metallurgy Institute Bor person Nevena Milikić Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor ; Mining and metallurgy Institute Bor person Aca Božilov Univerzitet u Nišu, Fakultet zaštite na radu ; University of Niš, Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš person application/pdf 314089 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:492 no yes 18 http://casopisi.junis.ni.ac.rs/index.php/FUWorkLivEnvProt/about/editorialPolicies#openAccessPolicy 70 92000001 71A03 Facta Universitatis.
