Assessment of the effects of air and noise pollution in the Sadr highway on sensitive groups of the area using GIS

Air pollution and traffic noise are increasing in developing countries. Surveying the environment and awareness of the concentration of pollutants, as well as awareness of the level of sound that has harmful effects on human health is important in order to take the necessary measures and optimal management decisions and subsequently reducing disease and saving time and money. In this research, air and noise pollution in Sadr highway in Tehran has been studied. Five pollutants of air pollution index including carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone and suspended particles were measured. Then the rate of air pollution index was determined. The sound level was measured along the highway using a portable sound meter. The results indicate that the rate of air pollution index on Sadr highway is unhealthy for sensitive groups. And the audio level is 80 dB per day and 70 dB at night, which is more than the standard. In this study, the effects of air pollution and noise pollution on children s learning in the area were studied. At the end, there are some ways to reduce air and noise pollution.
