This paper aims at presenting data collected over the period of three years (2004-2006) in aresidential area in the state of Kuwait. The data collected include ambient levels of primary andsecondary pollutants with a number of metrological parameters. A series of unfiltered and filteredconcentration roses were plotted to determine the predominant sources as well as the prevailing windsaffecting the area under investigation. Local and international air quality regulations were crossreferenced over the course of this study. The main objective was to determine whether this residentialarea could be considered as a safe site for further urban estate development and the risk of thepopulation residing exposed to carcinogens in the ambient air. Although the hazard index values werewithin the safe range, the population affected with cancer due to benzene inhalation was increasingbased on cancer risk assessment calculations. |
