Abstract

Background and purpose: Air pollution is one of the most important environmental issues andits impact on human health has been proven in the 20th century. Many air pollutants such as CO, NO2, SO2, O3, particulate matter (PM10), heavy metals, RADON, etc. could have negative health effects. The aim of thisstudy was to determine the CONCENTRATION of PM10, LEAD, and RADON in the air of Spahanshahr, Isfahan, Iran. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in the summer of 2015. Sampling wasperformed using fiberglass filters by High volume sampler. Analysis of PM10, LEAD, and RADON was carriedout by weight discrepancy, ICP device, and CR-39 detector, respectively. Geographic information systemv10 and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) were used for interpolation and the spatial distribution ofmean CONCENTRATIONs of pollutants in the stations. Data analysis was done in SPSS V16. Results: The mean CONCENTRATIONs of PM10, LEAD, and RADON were 57. 07± 33. 07 μ g/m3, 0. 41± 0. 23μ g/m3, and 466. 78± 86. 92 (Bq/m3), respectively. The CONCENTRATION of PM10, LEAD, and RADON in mostsampling stations were higher than the WHO and EPA recommendations. The highest CONCENTRATION ofPM10, LEAD, and RADON was observed in the Southeast, West, and West of the study area. Conclusion: This investigation showed that the high CONCENTRATION of particulate matter in theSoutheast of study area was mainly due to the vicinity of the confluence of two main highways in Isfahanand construction activities of the commercial center. But high CONCENTRATIONs of LEAD and RADON in WestRegion and in stations near the LEAD mine could be due to the mining activities and the direction of theprevailing winds in summer (West-East).
