Abstract
The use of mathematical modelling for investigation of the efficiency of existing monitoring sites for the impact of SO 2 emissions from power stations in the state of Kuwait is described. The Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) model is utilised to obtain the spatial and temporal variations of SO 2 over residential areas. Statistical comparison between the 50 highest daily measured and predicted SO 2 concentrations at six monitoring sites shows that the model is capable of generating results with accuracy of 60–94%. An important conclusion of this work is that the existing locations of the Kuwait-EPA monitoring stations are not suitable for measuring the actual impact of SO 2. Therefore, there is a need for relocation of these sites to register the highest levels of SO 2 emitted from the current power stations in the state of Kuwait.
