The conference addresses air quality in general and particulate matter specifically. Atmospheric particulate matter arises both from primary emissions and from secondary formation in the atmosphere. It is one of the least well-understood local and regional air pollutants, has complex implications for climate change, and is perhaps the pollutant with the highest health relevance. It also poses many challenges to monitoring. By WeBIOPATR, we aim to link the research communities with relevance to particulate matter with the practitioners of air quality management on all administrative levels, in order to facilitate professional dialogue and uptake of newest research into practice. The workshops usually draw an audience of about 70, and attract media attention in Serbia. It enjoys support of the responsible authorities, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, and the Serbian Environmental Agency whose sponsorship is indispensable and gratefully acknowledged. We enjoy also support of international bodies such as the WHO. The 1st WeBIOPATR Workshop was held in Beograd, 20.-22. May 2007, associated with a project funded by the Research Council of Norway. The 2nd workshop was held in Mecavnik, Serbia, 28.8.-1.9. 2009. WeBIOPATR2011 was held in Beograd 14.-17. 11. 2011 and for the first time, included a dedicated student workshop. WeBIOPATR2013 was held in Beograd 2.-4. 10. 2013. It covered the traditional PM research and management issues, discussions on how to encourage citizens to contribute to environmental governance, and how to develop participatory sensing methods. WeBIOPATR2015 was held in Beograd 14.-16.10. 2015. Own sessions were devoted to sensor technologies for air quality monitoring, utilizing information and input from the EU FP7 funded project CITI-SENSE (http://co.citi-sense.eu) and the EU COST action EuNetAir (www.eunetair.it). We have now the pleasure to present to you the proceedings of the 6th conference held in Beograd 6.-8.9. 2017. We are excited to have contributions from old friends and new acquaintances, and we are especially pleased with a wider than before Western Balkan participation. The contributions were reviewed. The language editing was performed by Dr Simon Smith, PhD, to whom we would like to extend out sincere thanks. Technical manuscript preparation was graciously done by Dr Milos Davidovic, PhD, to whom we are very grateful. We are hoping that you, the reader, will extend your support to WeBIOPATR also in the future. The issues of atmospheric pollution, with their wide implications for climate change, human health and ecosystem services, are no less important today than before. Addressing them requires a strong scientific community and commitment of all societal actors. Your contribution will make a difference. Milena Jovašević-Stojanović and Alena Bartoňová CONTENTS 1.
