Meteorological Study of the Air Pollution in the Cities of Azerbaijan

The Ecogeographical Impact of Air Pollution in the Azerbaijan Cities: Possible Plant/Synthetic‐Based Nanomaterial Solutions

“…The emitted pollutants to the atmosphere have mostly (at least 2/3) been attributed to Baku city [2]. Also, the low quality of air-cleaning apparatuses has significantly increased the emit of deleterious substances from chemical, petrochemical, and aluminum generating industries [3]. Furthermore, the rapid growth of the population has induced a negative impact on the atmosphere [4].…”

“…The main sources of air pollution are industrial facilities and motor vehicles. The increase in polluting sources is not in correlation with the territorial capac-ities of the urban area in Azerbaijan [3]. Therefore, this ecological situation influences the human health of the living urban negatively, it has been reported that several gastrointestinal, neurologic, respiratory, and nephrology health problems are connected with air pollution [6].…”

“…With the growth of population and enlargement of the cities, the transport vehicles are also increasing, which triggers the current problems of human health as well as environmental destruction [7]. Vehicles produce up to 80% of gaseous substances responsible for air pollution in Azerbaijan [3]. Therefore, the assessment of vehicle-induced air pollution is an emerging issue.…”

“…From the environmental point of view, it should be noticed that the use of new vehicles is proposed to avoid the production of larger levels of waste [3]. Also, the technical situation of automobiles, prevention of utilizing obsolete cars, and enlargement of greening urban areas can prohibit air pollution.…”

“…Atmosphere air pollution is directly linked with the growth of motor transport systems. Over 86000 thousand motor vehicles are found in Azerbaijan (70 thousand lorries and 20 thousand buses) [3]. The majority of the vehicles (90%) have been used for more than five years which increases air pollution.…”
