Abstract :

Today, the issue of pollution caused by industrial settlements is a very important issue in environmental studies, which have a significant impact on the ecosystem of the region where industrial settlements are built. In this research, the effect of pollution caused by the factories of Rajah Babol industrial town on the air of the town is investigated and we try to find solutions to deal with it by presenting suitable scenarios. First, similar domestic and foreign studies were reviewed. SPI and AQI indices were introduced and their limits and corresponding classification were determined. Finally, by using the concept of Leopold's matrix, possible scenarios were introduced to minimize the pollutants in Reja industrial town. The results show that the harmful effects of suspended corn and pollutants can be significantly reduced by controlling the quality of smoke emitted from industrial-production factories and expanding green space. Index of pollution standards, information related to the concentration of ozone pollutants on the surface of the earth, suspended particles. It provides carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The results of the questionnaire show that the worst possible scenario is the relocation of the industrial-production unit, and the best scenario is the use of vegetation and green space in the areas of the industrial town. Another suitable scenario is to control the smoke coming out of factories by optimizing fuel consumption and using suitable filters.
