ESTIMATION OF PREDICTORS OF INTRA-COMMUNITY VARIATION IN TRAFFIC-RELATED AIR POLLUTION
Air quality is one of the critical components of public health. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence local air pollution due to emissions of road transport. NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, РМ<sub>10</sub>, РМ<sub>2</sub>,<sub>5</sub> and РМ1 concentrations were measured at 30 locations in Darnytskyi district of Kyiv city. Some 40 indicators describing study area were calculated for each location. Variations in traffic-related air pollution were strongly correlated with traffic variables, distance to the nearest road, and total length of roads, land-use, normalized vegetation index, relative humidity and wind speed. Subsequent regression analysis revealed indicators that had a larger impact on pollution variability and, therefore, should be further used for a good traffic-related air pollution prediction model development
