Popis: For effective air quality management, one of the main conditions is the identification of pollution sources, determining their share in the overall pollution as well as implementation the measures for control and reducing the pollution. The aim of this paper is that, based on collected data, to make a conclusion on how soot affects the level of pollution in the municipality of Bor. The results presented in this paper were obtained on the basis of processed daily and average annual values of soot concentrations for these years. Analysis of samples was carried our on refractometer at 24 hour continuously, seven days a month at a particular measurement point. For statistical data processing, the statistical software SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 17.0 was used. Based on the results obtained using the software, there is the conclusion that there is little correlation between the metrological parameters and soot concentration in the municipality of Bor, and that there is no increased concentration at the measuring points despite pyrometallurgical treatment of copper concentrate in RTB Bor. The great importance to the increased soot concentration has the use of fossil fuels for heating households, as it is not the case in Bor, because more than 90% of households are heated by district heating system.
