Abstract: Estimating aerosol presence lets us evaluate the real situation of aerosol concentration as well as the contribution of principal sources in the region of Shkodra Lake. Several locations are selected in this measurement campaign; urban centre of Shkodra City and other minor rural centres around the perimeter of Shkodra Lake. In this campaign are monitored PMs number and mass concentrations of aerosol particles in these centres, and then are obtained conclusions about emission sources and transport mechanisms, which control the aerosol concentrations over these areas. The values of PMx concentrations in both locations are near the thresholds of international recommendations and sometimes exceed these limits, especially in the urban centre of Shkodra. Urban centre, nearest populated rural centres and traffic are the principal aerosol sources in this area.
