Air Impurity Study of Elbasani Town – Albania
Air Impurity Study of Elbasani Town – Albania
Microbiological
features given in this survey are received in Elbasani town, ancient and
significant town positioned in central Albania. It is one of the largest cities
of Albania, with a population of around 140000 and an area of 900 km². It lies
down along Shkumbini River at elevation around 150 m above sea level. Microbiological
data on air pollution are given in this study, focusing on the choice of
stations to be in different areas and key points of the Elbasan city, thus
attempting to contaminate microbiological areas. In recent years, mainly in the
last two decades, many microbiological studies have been conducted for the
Elbasan city.
The purpose of this
study is to present the current state of microbiological contamination of air
as an important parameter with a direct impact on the health of the population
of Elbasani town. For this purpose, we have received multiple samples with
representatives of M.P.A. and Czapek from three stations, during a three-month
period of 2017. Laboratory sample processing as well as microscopic observation
were performed in "Aleksander Xhuvani" University, Elbasan.
We think that emphasis
should be placed on the fact that the Elbasani town has been dominated by a
significant microbiological contamination, which comes mainly from different
markets of food and industrial character. In our point of view, interesting
data were found that clearly show the air microbiological quality.
