Air pollution comes from a variety of sources including the industry, transport and agriculture. Every day, air pollution causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The pollution causes damages of ragile ecosystems and biodiversity. It also reduces the yield of crops and commercial forest yields. Therefore, it is vital to take action both at home and together with other countries - across borders and sectors. Air pollution by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, non-methane volatile organic compounds and particulate matter create the most serious problems for human health and they are the main reason for the deterioration of ecosystems. These air pollutants in the border area Bulgaria – Rumania are presented and analyzed in the present paper.Air pollutionPollutantsMonitoring systemSymposium Proceedings
