Air quality measurement was conducted in the vicinity of the industrial plot that belongs to RS Silicon LLC Mrkonjić Grad where a plant for the production of the silicon metal is constructed, during the period January – December 2015; this air quality measurement comprised the immissions concentrations of CO, SO2, NO2 and total suspended particles (TSP), while simultaneously measuring wind speed and direction.
The factory for Si-metal production will generate direct and indirect environmental impacts, especially on air. Generally, the largest environmental impact during operation of the factory will be reflected in the emission of a large quantity of waste gases. This document shows air pollution measurement results which represent the zero state, it is to say a basis for further assessment of air quality after the commissioning of subject factory.
