Description
Summary:  The purpose of the study is to detect the concentration of some gaseous and particulate air pollutants in the indoor air of the city of Kufa. The pollutants include (CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, PM10, PM2.5). The concentrations of these pollutants were measured during the period from July 2022 to January 2023 at seventeen stations in the city of Kufa. From each station, three sites (houses) were selected, making (51 dwellings). The study showed the role of some climate elements, such as temperature and humidity, as well as the role of the size of the house and the type of building, as well as the role of house uses such as cleaning and cooking materials in influencing the increase in the concentration of air pollutants. The results showed that there was a variation in the levels of concentrations of air pollutants, and their variation between the months of July and January.
