Abstract: This paper presents the results of air quality measurements performed during the period 1986-2006, at the Thri- assion Plain, one of the most industrialized areas of Greece. Intense industrial activities, road traffic and the rapidly growing activity of the local harbour of Elefsis are the main reasons for the observed degradation of the environment. For this reason, we attempted to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of three key pollutants (SO2, NO2, 03). The data were obtained from the Bureau of Pollution Control and Environmental Quality of the Thriassion Plain (GERPPE), the Ministry of the Environment and the Environmental Bureau of the Municipality of Aspropyrgos (GPDA), and refer to monthly mean and annual 98th percentile values. Data analysis suggests that, during the past few years, there is a definite improvement regarding SO2 that is mainly due to the replacement of fossil fuels with natural gas. On the contrary, NO2 and 03 do not vary with time, as a result of the significant NO2 emissions by the ever-growing traffic volume and the prevailing meteorological conditions that favor the generation of photochemical pollution.
