2024-11-04
The Upper Euphrates Basin Developing Centre at University of Anbar announced the meteorological results of pollutant concentrations after the recent wave of rains. Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Jassam Mekhlif, a climate expert in the Natural Resources Development Department at the Centre, said that after the wave of rain that fell on Iraq, it is noticeable that air quality has improved significantly, as the level of air quality indicates a decrease in the level of pollutants, which enhances air quality and purity, except for some areas as follows:
- Carbon monoxide (CO): moderate in general throughout Iraq except Mosul recorded (180 ppbv). Then Baghdad recorded (300 ppbv).
- Sulphur dioxide (SO2): moderate in general and the highest values recorded in Mosul recorded (27 μg/m³) then Hilla recorded (40 μg/m³). Basra reaches (70 μg/m³).
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): generally good ratios and the highest values in the country, recorded in Baghdad amounted to (11 μg/m³).
