Site Description:

The sampling site is situated at a northwest outskirts of the Třebíč city, on the grounds of the Secondary School of Agriculture, Žižkova 505/2, Třebíč. The samplers were placed on the mast within the slope up to 8% in a not very dense build-up area of one floor high family dwellings, in the vicinity of a small water reservoir. Passive samplers were deployed on a steel construction of the meteorological mast approximately 5 meters above the ground.

The site represents a city background. Solid fuels combustion for domestic heating is likely the determining source of studied pollutants.
