Air pollution monitoring in Tehran using Sentinel_5 satellite (2022)

Abstract

Tehran is one of the biggest metropolises that has been affected by excessive pollution. People
who are prone to heart disease and asthma should avoid traveling in areas with high pollution
even if possible. Using Sentinel_5 (TROPOMI)sensor images, the amount of CO, NO2, O3, and
Aerosol, which includes fine particles in the air, was checked and the density map of each of
these parameters was created. By using these results, it is possible to identify excessively
polluted areas and apply the necessary predictions for crisis management. Also, city
temperature changes, construction and NDBI index can affect the amount of air pollution.
