الأثر البيئي لتلوث هواء مدينة البصرة بغاز أحادي أوكسيد الكربون (CO)‎

الملخص EN

This research aims to study the behavior of the Carbon Monoxide gas in the air of Basra city and the extent of the relationship between the increase of its concentrations, the humans acts, and the role of some climate elements ( temperature and wind speed) in influencing gas values.

Five sites were chosen inside Basra to measure the values of Co gas per month over two years( 2018-2019) by one reading during the month, which means(120) reading during the study period and at an altitude between 170-150 cm, and the time for measuring the samples was between 10, 00am and 2, 00pm.

Statistical analysis was conducted by using (SPSS) program ( multiple regression test and Pearson correlation coefficient )between Co gas values and the climate variables (temperature and wind speed).

That is why, the study reached at a set of results, the most important of which was the existence of an inverse relationship between temperature, wind speed, and Co gas concentrations in Basra city.

The highest values of concentrations were recorded in the winter season during December, January, and February, and the gasvalues were higher in densely populated areas.
