| Abstract [eng] |
This study examines the spatial distribution of chemical elements in the urban environment of Klaip˙eda Seaport City, assessing their concentrations in industrial, residential, and port zones. Particulate matter (PM) samples were collected using passive sampling methods and analyzed for their chemical composition to identify pollution patterns. Beyond spatial pollution analysis, a detailed correlation analysis of pollutants was conducted to determine potential emission sources across different functional city zones. The results indicate significantly elevated concentrations of heavy metals in port and transport zones, highlighting the necessity for targeted air quality improvement measures and innovative pollution mitigation strategies. |
