Abstract

Background and Objective: Air pollution is one of the significant problems that have become one of the main issues. In this study, we focus on detecting the route and source of atmospheric pollutant movement in high-level air pollution periods in Tehran. Method: Air pollution data, Terra MODIS satellite image data, and FNL data were used. The PSI calculated high-level air pollution periods for PM10 and O3. Moreover, the origin of pollutants was detected by the HYSPLIT model and satellite images. HYSPLIT model determined the origin of widespread pollution. It could detect them with the backward method in three levels, which included 10, 1500, and 5000 meters. Some maps were produced for satellite images and HYSPLIT models drawn in GIS. Findings: In the extratropical pattern, the dust from Syria, northeast to south-east Saudi Arabia, central, northern and southern Iraq and parts of Turkey have affected Tehran. According to HYSPLIT model outputs, at a lower level of the atmosphere and the middle level of the atmosphere, not only the local situation but also the regional situation had a considerable role. At the upper level of the atmosphere, environmental pollution could become into Tehran by streams. In the compound pattern, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and some parts of Turkey had an important function. In the HYSPLIT model, the North-East and North-West of Iran have attempted to influence Tehran in the lower level of the atmosphere. In the middle level of the atmosphere, the local situation is more remarkable. At the upper level of the atmosphere, the origin of dust was western to eastern parts of Iraq and the northeast part of Iraq. Further, the dust on the north-eastern of Syria, Jordan, and parts of Turkey is more notable. Conclusion: These maps were categorized into two main synoptic patterns, including extratropical and intricate patterns.
