Exposure to tropospheric ozone and NO2 in the ambient air of Tehran metropolis: Spatiotemporal distribution and inhalation health risk assessment
Background
Air pollution has emerged as a critical challenge in the 21st century, necessitating alert monitoring of key pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)F. These pollutants are exacerbated by urbanization and industrialization, posing significant health risks, particularly in densely populated metropolitan areas.
Objective
The aim of this study was inhalation health risk assessment of NO2 and ozone in various scenarios and spatiotemporal Distribution Interpolation.
Methods
Data were collected from the Tehran Air Quality Control Center, encompassing 18 monitoring stations from March 2019 to February 2022. Health risk assessments (HRA) were performed for adult age groups across three different exposure scenarios (3, 8, and 12 h) And a sensitivity analysis was also conducted to determine the relative importance of each parameter in assessing the risks of each scenario.
Results
The hazard index (HI) values for NO2 and ozone in all three scenarios were found to range from 0.24 to 1.56 and 0.04 to 0.49, respectively and body weight is a risk-lowering factor in sensitivity analyses. The interpolation results of ozone, NOx, and NO2 using the IDW approach from March 2019 to February 2022 showed that overall, the north and northeast of Tehran had the highest concentrations of NO2 and NOx, and the north and west had the highest concentrations of ozone.
Significance
This study underscores the HRA with exposure to NO2 and ozone, particularly for individuals spending more than 8 h outdoors. Given Tehran's high population density and persistent air pollution, it is imperative to implement effective control policies to safeguard public health. The findings advocate for limiting outdoor activity to less than 8 h per day, especially for vulnerable occupational groups. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of considering body weight in health risk assessments.
