Measuring some polluting gases emitted from vehicle exhaust in Kirkuk Governorate and their environmental effects

Abstract

The current work in all semesters under study (fall, winter, spring) studies the estimation of gases emitted from vehicle exhausts (formed as a secondary pollutant SO2, NO2, O3). The study aims at determining its environmental and negative effects and identifying the extent of the effect of the gases that cause acid rain on the pH values ​​of rain water in a number of specific study sites within the city of Kirkuk: the entrance to Kirkuk check point, June 1, the beginning of the Shuhada Bridge, the Castle, and Doctors Street, the old discipline and the New Tisin. Because the movement of cars is dense and the different sources of emitted gases compared to the fifth site (Yayci). The results showed that there is a temporal and spatial variation in the concentrations of gases, and the values of the concentrations of gases emitted from vehicle exhausts did not exceed the values of the Iraqi national environmental determinants of ambient air quality and the determinants of the World Health Organization and did not reach the degree of the strong pH or the strong basal pH, as it recorded the lowest value in the site of The New Tisin and for the winter.
