Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of meteorological measurements in assessing air pollution
in the Republic of North Macedonia. The study is based on measurements of air pollutants such as particulate matter
(PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ). Meteorological measurements, such as temperature, wind
speed, and precipitation, have been used in the past to measure air pollution levels. However, the accuracy of these
measurements has not been extensively studied. The current research investigates the accuracy of meteorological
measurements in assessing air pollution in North Macedonia by analyzing both long-term and short-term air quality
data. The results of this study will provide insight into the reliability of meteorological measurements in assessing air
pollution, and the potential for using these measurements to better understand the air quality in North Macedonia.
