Abstract
Aerosols in atmosphere are known as one of the main factors affecting human lifetime. Wide variety of different air quality improvement actions are implemented in municipalities over the Europe, unfortunately aerosol pollution is site specific pollution and any actions for cleaner air should be adjusted according to local situation and particularly to meteorological conditions. This research focuses on complex aerosol pollution and meteorological parameter analysis in order to understand aerosol life cycle. Analysis was performed in Riga agglomeration for 2003-2013 period.
