The city of Tehran undergoes an increasing growth in population as well as industrial activities, both of which increase the concentration of air pollutants. The current research tries to turn a limited and focused system of air contamination measurement and control to an unlimited and extensive one that examines the concentration of each of the contaminants in any area of Tehran. Accordingly, ...

The urban environment is where an increasing share of the world’s population resides, where the most commercial energy is consumed, and where the impacts of pollution are imposed the most. In the urban environment, because of its complex structure, the air pollution appears unpredictable covering narrow area. The AirScope system is developed for that kind of micro-scale air pollution management...

Air pollution is a significant problem in cities across the world. It affects human health and well-being, ecosystem health, crops, climate, visibility and human-made materials. Health effects related to air pollution include its impact on the pulmonary, cardiac, vascular and neurological systems (Section 2).

introduction[1] air pollution is one of the major environmental issues in industrial cities such as tehran, in such a way that in a certain time, this city was announced as the second polluted city in the world after new delhi. geographical location of this city produces a situation that air pollution does not find a way for dilution. therefore air pollution and its reduction to an acceptable l...

particulate and gaseous emissions of pollutants from industries and auto-exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, aggravates respiratory and cardiovascular. in this study, a system for air quality information in tehran city has been developed, using an online web-based geographic information system. this web-based gis application allows users to recognize areas with a potential increase ...

The issue of air quality conditions and atmospheric pollution in the Arab Region (or Middle East and North African countries) has been addressed through consideration of the energy production and energy consumption pattern. Global, regional and local sources of air pollution in the region have been considered. Emission scenarios of many countries of the region have been outlined. Even though it...

The paper examines the spatial distribution of air pollution in response to recent air quality regulations in Delhi, India. Air pollution was monitored at 113 sites spread across Delhi and its surrounding areas from July-December 2003. From the analysis of these data three important findings emerge. First, air pollution levels in Delhi and its surroundings were significantly higher than that re...
