The role of meteorology factors on urban pollutants (Case study: data analysis of Tabriz city 2012-2022)
Authors
Abstract
In this research, using research-descriptive methods and using data from the years 2012-2022 of meteorology and air pollution in Tabriz city, the correlation of meteorological factors and their effect on the level of air pollution in Tabriz city was investigated and zoning maps were presented. Based on the results of the research, high amounts of CO, NO2, SO2 and O3 pollutants are mostly accumulated in areas 6, 7 and 8 of Tabriz municipality, and these pollutants have different amounts in different seasons and changing the impact of meteorological factors. Investigating the role of climatic elements in the increase of air pollutants in Tabriz city shows the existence of an inverse relationship between pollutants and the increase in altitude and rainfall. The role of wind in the spring and summer seasons leads to an increase in pollutants compared to the wind direction and is almost ineffective in the winter season. As the temperature increases, the amount of carbon monoxide pollutant increases and the amount of sulfur dioxide gas decreases. In general, the examination of the temperature factor shows that the amount of air pollution increases at lower temperatures.
