The influence of the Most Lake on fresh air quality - summary of the research results
The filling phase of the Most Lake is currently completely finished. The Lake was formed by the flooding of the residual pit of Most-Ležáky quarry in which the brown coal mining was terminated on the 31st December 1999. The filling phase of the Most Lake was initiated on the 24th October 2008. The research and development project "Impacts on microclimate, fresh air quality, ecosystems, water and soil at the hydric reclamation of abandoned lignite quarries" evaluated the significance of the influence of the microclimate development on the fresh air quality in the area around the Lake. The project was carried out in the period of 2011 to 2014. The results of the evaluation did not prove the unambiguous affecting of the air pollution in the locations of the stations Kopisty and Most caused by the microclimate of the Most Lake. Therefore it can be assumed that the effect of the Most Lake on the dispersion conditions in the localities Most and Kopisty and thus on the air pollution in these locations is not significant.
