Legislation (Act 201/2012 Coll., as amended) requires that the primary source of assessment be the results of stationary measurements. Measured concentrations may be supplemented by modelling and indicative measurements in the production of pollutant maps to ensure that the resulting estimate provides sufficient information on the spatial distribution of air pollutant concentrations. In the Czech Republic, the Eulerian chemical dispersion model CAMx is mainly used, additionally also the Gaussian model SYMOS and the European Eulerian model EMEP. In addition, in the case of individual pollutants, e.g. altitude or population density.

Concentrations measured by all monitoring networks are stored in the AQIS air pollution database. The database contains data from the beginning of measurements, and sulphur dioxide and suspended particulate matter concentrations from the station networks of the CHMI in North Bohemia and Prague from 1971. Accompanying meteorological data, which are measured at a large part of the automated monitoring stations of the CHMI are used for the evaluation of air quality-meteorological relationships, are also stored in the ISKO database. In addition, the ISKO emission database also includes data provided by cooperating institutions. These include the Public Health Institute in Ostrava, the Public Health Institute in Ústí nad Labem, the National Institute of Health, ČEZ, a. s., the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute, v. v. i., the Czech Geological Survey, the Institute of Hydrobiology, municipal authorities and other contributors. The database also includes information from the border areas of Slovakia, Germany, Poland and Austria.

Summary of concentrations of air pollutants for which immission limits are set to protect ecosystems and vegetation, measured at station networks of ambient air quality monitoring in the Czech Republic: r22AOT40 - AOT40 exposure index values, 5-year average, 2019-2023 [µg. m-3.h]; r22NOx - List of stations with annual average NOx concentrations, 2022; r22SO2zp - List of stations with SO2 concentrations (winter average), 2022; r22SO2rp - List of stations with annual average SO2 concentrations, 2022.

In accordance with Act 123/1998 Coll. on free access to environmental information, as amended, the CHMI has provided verified primary and aggregated data on outdoor air pollutants. These are the main pollutants with limit values according to current legislation: arsenic (As), benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, cadmium (Cd), carbon monoxide (CO), nickel (Ni), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), ground-level ozone (O3), lead (Pb), particulate matter (PM10), particulate matter (PM2.5), sulphur dioxide (SO2). The data are based on measurements at stations owned by the CHMI for the period 1969-2022. The primary data are presented in measurement intervals of 30 min, 1 h or 24 h, depending on the type of measurement. Aggregated data are calculated from the above primary data. These data are: daily mean values, monthly mean values, annual mean values and the number of exceedances of the limit values for the protection of human health. Verified data for subsequent calendar years from 2020 will always be available by 1 July of the following year.

Radon index map of the Czech Republic 1 : 50,000 has been compiled using statistical procedures to process the measurements so that the areas defined by the vectorized boundaries of the geological units can be classified to indicate the prevailing radon index for bedrock and quaternary sediments (low, medium, high index). The source data has been adjusted to meet the INSPIRE requirements for download service.
