Ag. Paliatsos et al., ROUTINE AIR-POLLUTION MEASUREMENTS IN ATHENS - RATIONALIZATION OF THEMONITORING NETWORK USING SPATIAL CORRELATION-ANALYSIS, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 5(7-8), 1996, pp. 436-441
In the Greater Athens Area (GAA) the air pollution monitoring network
comprises 8 automatic stations, in which NO, NO2, SO2, O-3, and smoke
concentrations are measured. The spatial distribution of the correlati
on coefficient between the measurements of all the stations was used t
o examine the representativeness of the monitoring network. The analys
is shows, that the monitoring network in GAA is quite sufficient for t
he larger part of the city, only a few suburbs haven't been covered ye
t.
