| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to detect the present levels and distribution of air pollutants such as SPM, Pb, Cr, Cd , and Ni , in two urban sites within Al- Rusafa side in Baghdad city (Al-Waziriya as industrial site and Al-Andalus square as commercial site). Measurements were carried out from November 2013 until June 2014. SPM, Pb, Cr, Cd , and Ni were measured using Air intake device(Sniffer) . The average minimum concentrations of SPM, Pb, Cr, Cd , and Ni were 588 µg/m3, 2.8 µg/m3, 15.6 µg/m3, 0.1 µg/m3, and 6.3 µg/m3. While the average maximum concentrations were 723 µg/m3 , 3.4 µg/m3 , 21.7 µg/m3 , 0.125 µg/m3 , and 6.8 µg/m3 , respectively. The results indicate that commercial site was more polluted with SPM , Pb , and Ni compared to the industrial site, while Cr and Cd concentrations were high in industrial site . | ||
