Analysis of Tehran Air Pollution Data in Recent Decade (2000-2009)
Background and Objectives: Exceeding the standard level in most cases, Tehran air pollution has become a national environmental challenge. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze Tehran air-pollution data set during 2000-2009 for trend analysis. Materials and Methods: In this study, we collected the ho...

Therefore, it is crucial to analyze Tehran air-pollution data set during 2000-2009 for trend analysis. Materials and Methods: In this study, we collected the hourly data of Tehran air pollution during 2000-2009 recorded by monitoring station of Tehran Air Pollution Control Company and statistical methods was used to determine the trend of the five pollutants, including: CO, PM10, SO2, NO2 and O3. Results: The results indicate that average annual concentration of PM10, CO, NO2, SO2 and O3 has changed from 91, 11.18, 102.6, 46.8, and 22.1 at monitoring station in 2000 to 88 µg/m3, 3.64 ppm, 66.1 ppb, 21.4 ppb, and 83 ppb in 2009 respectively. Conclusion: Our findings revealed that although the air quality in Tehran has improved in term of particulate matter, SO2 and NO2 during this decade as a result of government's recent program in air pollution control, ozone concentration has increased. http://ijhe.tums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-25-5005&slc_lang=en&sid=1Air pollution Tehran air quality monitoring stations Tehran |
