Abstract
Belgrade has faced persistent air pollution for decades, with particulate matter concentrations frequently exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) limits during the heating season. Among major pollutants, fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) poses particular risks to health and has gained increasing attention in occupational safety and health research. This study examined the frequency of low-wind-speed days and the distribution of PM2.5 concentrations under such conditions to assess monthly risk levels during the heating season. Results show that October, December, and January are periods of elevated occupational health and safety risk. These findings highlight the need for preventive measures, such as shorter outdoor shifts, increased rest breaks, and task rotation, to reduce worker exposure to hazardous PM2.5 levels.
