Air pollution and climate change, although they have different physical manifestations, are both closely linked to similar causes and concerns. Fossil fuel and biomass burning are the main anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas and air pollutants emissions that change the composition of the atmosphere. Some of pollutants that are responsible for air quality deterioration are also responsible for the global warming. The question is whether current policies to address climate change and air pollution in Croatia are in synergy, or if they have some contradictions (e.g. biomass combustion in the residential sector). This paper gives an overview of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections and primary air pollutants (NOx, PM) emissions projections in Croatia, it discusses the interconnections and the importance of the residential sector and road transport sector as key sources of urban air pollution. An overview of the current state of emissions and air quality in the case of particulate matter in Croatia is also given. The importance of black carbon (BC) is highlighted as one of the components of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and also as short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). In addition, some funding mechanisms for implementing climate change and air protection policies in Croatia are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
