The paper presents a description of synoptical and meteorological conditions on days with the highest suspended dust concentrations in three Central European cities (Brno, Sosnowiec and Krakow). The study was based on daily PM10 dust concentration records, selected weather data and calendars of types of synoptic situation (by T. Niedźwiedź and by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute) for the year 2009. The highest PM10 concentrations were found to coincide with similar synoptic situations and weather conditions in all three cities. The fact that pollution norms were exceeded most frequently in Krakow, followed by Sosnowiec and Brno, suggests a local impact.
