| Abstract | ||
| This research is intended to investigate the concentration of some air pollutants (particulates, Pb, CO, SO2) at AL-Musaib city and its surrounding areas. Ten test locations have been selected to cover the studied area. The researched work period started from October 2007 and ended at July 2008. The results show that the air of studied area is polluted only with TSP and the other pollutant (Pb, CO, SO2) are not exceeding the maximum permissible limits according to the standard specifications. The contour lines map indicates that the concentration. of air pollutants increased at the west-north site and decreased at the east-south site of the studied area. The industrial activity, high population density and traffic volume have direct effect on the increasing of air pollutants. The values of air pollutants (TSP, Pb, CO, SO2) become more negative effective during the warm months. Also it is shown that the effect of wind is not observed The study recommends many points to decrease the air pollution such as: using the unleaded fuel, using filters and especial technical devices to purify the air of factories, and reducing the traffic volume at main roads, besides the future study is required to analyze the effect of industrial factories and its production on air pollution at this area. | ||
