a network for SO2 and smoke measurement was instaled in 1963,

air quality monitoring started in 1962 measuring deposited matter att 11 sites in Zagreb,

and for total suspended particulate matter, TSP, and its content on heavy metals in 1972,




in 1994 monitoring network in Zagreb was installed for NO2,

in 1996 started monitoring for ozone,

in 1998 started monitoring for PM 10

and PM 2,5.




Institute for Medical Reserch and Occupational Health - IMR

local air quality monitoring is established through Institutes of public health in 10 counties,




20 Counties and capital Zagreb


In the year 2005 in local network was operated still in 10 counties, wtih 110 station in 48 cities.
