Development of Air Pollution Mitigation Strategies in Tehran Using Spatiotemporal Analysis and Climate Factor Prediction Models
摘要
This study explores the spatial and temporal dynamics of key atmospheric pollutants in Tehran Province, Iran, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and ozone (O₃), about climatic variables like temperature, rainfall, and specific humidity from 2019 to 2022. Utilizing data from Sentinel-5P and NASA’s Giovanni platform, the SARIMAX model was employed to predict pollutant trends in 2023. Results show that CO and NO₂ concentrations peak during colder months, especially in industrial and densely populated areas like Tehran, while O₃ levels rise during the warmer months in cities such as Shahryar. These findings highlight the influence of temperature inversions and industrial emissions on pollution dynamics. Furthermore, the study suggests a range of strategies for air pollution reduction, including the modernization of public transportation systems, stricter industrial regulations, and the promotion of electric and hybrid vehicles. The integration of real-time meteorological data into pollution management policies is proposed as a key element in reducing pollutant levels, particularly in high-risk areas. The research concludes by recommending a governance framework for sustainable air quality management, which includes public engagement, advanced technology adoption, and inter-agency collaboration to address the growing environmental challenges in Tehran Province.
