【 摘 要 】

Air pollution mitigation is a necessity in Serbia, due to its high levels ofcriteria pollutants in ambient environment. Successful implementation ofmitigation measures requires access to sufficient information from nationalresearch, and well running and efficient local participatory processes. Tosupport air pollution mitigation in the West Balkan region, the WeBIOPATRproject started a series of bi-annual conferences in 2007. They bringtogether an inter-disciplinary research community and local and nationaladministrations from Serbia and its neighborhood, to present research resultsfrom Serbia and countries all over the world, and to share knowledge and bestpractices of mitigation. The conferences promote research that may supportintegrated assessment of particulate matter, and further refinement of the“Pressures-State-Impact“ (PSI) part of the“Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response“ (DPSIR) framework. Integratedapproach needs to be underpinned by solid disciplinary research covering e.g.air quality monitoring technologies, atmospheric and further ambientcomposition, atmospheric modeling, biological effects and human health.WeBIOPATR conferences report on recently performed studies of particulatematter in Serbia and abroad. Through the breadth of subjects and audience,they bring together a wide inter-disciplinary and cross-sectoral expertise insupport of translation of research to practice. They also allow to presentexamples of successful mitigation achieved with the help of strong localparticipatory environmental governance, demonstrating the increasingrecognition of the need to involve both public and private actors. This papergives the main features of a full chain approach and elements of integratedapproach to particulate matter research, summarizes the proceedings of the3rd WeBIOPATR conference, and in addition, reviews the results of particulatematter monitoring and source identification studies in Serbia since themonitoring start ten years ago.
