The Impact of Climatic Elements on Air Pollution in the City of Baghdad

Abstract

In recent years, the city of Baghdad has experienced high levels of air pollution due to industrial, human, and traffic activities, along with the absence of regulatory oversight. It is well known that climatic elements—namely temperature, wind, humidity, and rainfall—play a significant role in the distribution, spread, and transfer of pollutants from one place to another. This study aims to clarify the relationship between these climatic elements and the changing levels of air pollution in thecity of Baghdad. The research relies on climate data specific to Baghdad and environmental data related to pollutant elements measured at pollution monitoring stations within the study area, and it conducts both spatial and temporal analysis of this data .
