Abstract: The aim of this work was to characterize the temporary and spatial distribution of traffic related air pollutants (NO2, PM10, O3, C6H6) and assessment of the relationship between meteorological conditions and air pollution concentration from three monitoring stations in Warsaw area. In the period from 2011 to 2013 average annual values of concentration NO2 were exceeded on all considered stations Warsaw (i.e. Komunikacyjna, Warszawa- -Ursynów and Warszawa-Targówek). The values varied from 114 do 141% of permissible values (40 μg·m–3 ). In case of PM10 concentration permissible concentration of annual average value was exceeded on two stations and in case of ozone and benzene excesses not occurred. The greatest concentration values for analyzed pollutants were recorded on Komunikacyjna station situated in the city center in close proximity of communication routes. The least concentration values were recorded for city suburb areas Ursynów and Targówek situated in greater distance from the biggest traffic streets than Komunikacyjna station. Statistical analysis shows the relationship between logical conditions and high concentration of ozone during episode days and between particular meteorological elements and the concentration of analyzed air pollutants.
