Abstract: An evaluation of air pollution at the Bily Kriz mountains in the Czech Republic is given. Annual daily concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NO_x), particulate matter of size 10 mm (PM₁₀) and ozone (O₃) measured in the years 1994–2000 are presented. Air pollution at Bily Kriz is assessed with the reference to the European Union Directives and the standards adopted by the Czech Republic. In general, the concentrations of air pollutants were lower in 1996 for ozone and decreased for SO₂, NO_x and PM₁₀ from 1994. The daily values of SO₂ and PM₁₀ exceeded the European Union limits in approximately 0.0% and 5.5% of cases, respectively. The values of ozone exceeded the limits for the considered period.
