Abstract :
The purpose of the present study is to investigate industrially produced pollutants of two automobile factories and Moin Paper Company of Rajah Industrial Town and its role on the pollution of Khashrudepi city, which is the closest city to Rajah Industrial Town. The question raised in this research is to what extent the two Rajah industrial factories affect the air pollution of Khashrudopi city. This research is practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and correlational in terms of research method. This research is done to find out the existence of the relationship between the variables, but it is not necessary to discover the cause and effect relationship. The methods used to collect and analyze data in this research are list method, checklist and Leopold's matrix. The relationship and correlation between the values of the investigated parameters were investigated by Pearson's correlation test and SPSS software. Since the Pearson test can be performed for normal data, the Kolmogorov-Smironov test was first performed to check the normality of the data. The obtained results indicate that there is a direct relationship between the changes in the pollutant parameters of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, fine dust with a size of 10 microns, and nitrogen dioxide in the two regions of Rajah and Khashrudepi industrial towns, and there is significance between the two regions regarding the parameter Ozone was not detected.
