“…The possibility of assessing the transboundary air pollution transport of the Czech-Polish area has been further analysed in papers [36][37][38][39][40][41]. This paper deals with the evaluation of the relationships of PM 10 and BaP concentrations depending on meteorological conditions (mainly wind direction and wind speed) and relies only on measurements at ground stations at 2 m or 10 m above the ground (wind direction and wind speed) at stations Godów and Věř ňovice.…”

“…At temperatures above 10 • C, the contribution of wind directions to PM 10 concentrations is more balanced, with the lowest concentrations at SW-W. The dependence of PM10 concentrations on wind speed is significant [38,39]. Figure 13 The dependence of PM 10 concentrations on wind speed is significant [38,39].…”

“…The average PM 10 concentrations for the entire 2011-2020 period (Figure 11) show that the highest PM 10 concentrations are obtained when the daily wind type is E, NE-E or N-NE. The dependence of PM10 concentrations on temperature is significant [38,39]. Figure 12 shows the PM10 concentrations as a function of temperature and divided into individual daily types of wind.…”

The article is occupied with the evaluation of the transboundary transport of pollutants in the Czech–Polish border region (between the Moravian-Silesian region and the Silesian Voivodeship) in Central Europe. It focuses on the evaluation of concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and suspended particles of PM10 depending on meteorological conditions, especially wind direction. The whole area of interest is heavily affected with air pollution of BaP and PM10. Limits of BaP and PM10 are still exceeded. Annual concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene are even several times higher than the value of its annual limit. The elaboration follows the results of the Czech–Polish project “Air Silesia”, which dealt with air pollution and the transboundary transport of pollutants in this area and took place in 2010 to 2013. Within this project, a higher transport of pollutants from Poland to the Czech Republic was established. The evaluation of the dependences of PM10 concentrations is based on hourly and daily data of PM10 and hourly data of meteorological quantities. To assess the dependences of daily BaP and PM10 concentrations, a methodology for evaluating daily types of wind direction was implemented into the processing. The results confirm that the problem of above-limit concentrations of BaP and PM10 in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic and the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland remains. The article confirms there is a higher transport of PM10 concentrations from Poland to the Czech Republic in the area of interest. Higher transport in the same direction is also predicted for daily concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene, although this cannot be clearly confirmed due to the lack of more detailed and identifiable data.
