The analyses focused on human health risk , only in the case of surface water were assessed ecological effects. For all issues were established work groups for collection and analysisng available date, information, conducting analyses (modeling, map development) and preparing risk assessment.

Estimated emissions from large and middle sources (TSP, SO2, NOx, heavy metals).

Estimated air quality from monitoring (TSP, SO2, NOx, heavy metals in dustfall, heavy metals in PM).

Estimated emissions from traffic in Zilina.

Air dispersion model (SO2, NOx, heavy metals).

Air dispersion model and monitoring for monitoring for organic pollutants (methanol, toluen, trichlorethylen, methhylmethacrylate) from PCHZ factory Zilina.

Model results for metals were used to estimate potential cancer risk for population in Zilina.
