Abstract

This paper presents information referring to the variation of aerosols concentration in a central area in Galati. For a period of time of november2005 to november 2006, there have been made correlations between aerosols concentrations and the predominant wind directions (E~W, N~NE~S-SW).
The results of the measurements are specific only for a point in time, being influenced by random variables (traffic intensity, temperature, pressure, wind speed, humidity etc.).
