In the area of the research, in the period from 1st May 2005 to 30th April 2007 the highest average concentration of NO2 and NOx, both during cold and warm half-years, occurred with southeasterly wind, and the lowest with south-westerly wind for NO2 and with north-easterly wind for NOx. The highest determination coefficients and, at the same time, the smallest estimation errors for multiple regression equations, describing the dependence of the concentration of NO2 and NOx from meteorological elements, were obtained with westerly wind in the cold half-year and with south-westerly wind in the warm half-year. %K concentration of NO 2 and NO x %K regression equations %K wind direction %K meteorological conditions %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/v02832574151r4wm/?p=df9bd7d570b840a8993d712e7250f265&pi=9
