Abstract
Short‐term monitoring of air pollutants for 15 selected sites in Damascus city has been investigated. The following air pollutants were measured: total suspended particulate (TSP), sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO). The overall average concentrations of the previous five pollutants were determined. The calculated concentrations were about 246μg/m 3 for TSP, 39μg/m 3 for SO 2 , 49μg/m 3 for NO 2 and 2.8mg/m 3 for CO. In this reported study, the TSP and the particulate with less than 10‐micrometer size (PM 10 ) were the most effective pollutants in the air of Damascus city.
