يتطلب حماية البيئة والتخطيط لخدمة التنمية المستدامة وصيانة الموارد البيئية دراسة جودة الهواء كأحد أهم متطلبات الحفاظ على الصحة العامة للسكان ، لذلك تم دراسة وتقييم جودة الهواء بمنطقة الدراسة من خلال معرفة مؤشر جودة الهواء بمنطقة الدراسة حيث تقع وسط الدلتا في نطاق المنطقة المعتدلة (100:51) تبعاً لمؤشر جودة الهواء التابع لوكالة حماية الأمريكية ،عدا منطقة طنطا التي تقع ضمن نطاق غير الصحي للأفراد التي تعانى من الحساسية (150:101).
Abstract
The study of wind and its impact on air quality is one of the most important considerations in geographical studies in order to monitor environmental problems caused by air pollutants and its impact on human health. The study aimed to identify prevailing wind trends and wind speeds and proportions its repeat in each direction and its relationship with the focus or dispersion of standard air pollutants through which air quality indicators can be identified in the study area during the study period. The study adopted Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques to identify and follow air pollutants in the area.
The study depended on several academic methods such as the applied approaches and the descriptive analytical method in geography and field work in the area as well as utilizing several cartographic methods in ArcGIS depended on spatial analyses, spatial interpolation.The study concluded that the sovereignty of one-way of winds in the study area and with average wind speed (5 m / w) led to the focus of standard air pollutants as well as its sources, affecting air quality in the study area.
