- Quality of environment is usually recognised as one of the key factors affecting the quality of life and health of the citizens. Due to a rapid urbanisation, this is a challenge especially in urban environments where poor air quality (AQ) and noise are usually recognised as major environmental concerns. As such, these stressors are known to have a very high spatiotemporal variability. Therefore, the knowledge about specifics of microenvironments, the amount of time people spend at a certain location and the type of the activity they are involved in - including recreation and other physical activities - are of paramount importance for conducting the exposure assessment in this context. In this contribution we present various past and ongoing activities conducted at the Jožef Stefan Institute within the Department of Environmental Sciences that are addressing the above mentioned aspects and discuss current state of the art, related issues and further perspectives.
