AB - More than half a century, the scientific community is trying to understand  the mechanisms and conditions of pollution dispersion within urban areas.  Thereat, special attention has been focused on specific areas, such as a  street canyon, in which harmful concentrations higher than allowed are more  likely registered. However, there is still a controversy about the conditions  of occurrence and impact of the individual air pollution components due to  fluctuations of key contributions. Given that OSPM model is a well-known  semi-empirical model specializing in the assessment of air quality within a  street canyon, after its testing and validation, the results of subsequent  simulations were used as a basis for planning a special experiment in order  to implement 48 full factorial designs, where using the response surface  methodology, as the final objective, an answer was precisely given on the  impact and contribution of urban air pollution components. In addition to the  main objective of this study, as a secondary, but not less important result  defining emission factors for CO and NOx can be emphasized, which to date  have not been determined for the fleet of the Republic of Serbia.
