In the city of Zenica steel is continuously produced more than 120 years. In all technological stages of production and processing of steel within integrated steel works large amounts of raw materials and fuels which contain a certain amount of sulfur are consumed. The flue gases formed during production and processing of steel contain certain concentrations of sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide is the main cause of "smog", which is harmful to humans and other living creatures. Also the impure atmosphere inhibits corrosive effect on construction materials such as stone, concrete, steel etc. After many years of continuous measurements a high level of air pollution in the city of Zenica is
detected (dust, sulfur dioxide, organic matter, heavy metals etc.). The paper presents the results of comparative analysis of measuring and monitoring the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the air in the city of Zenica in year 1986 and year 2014.
