“…A group of these studies has looked at the energy efficiency and environmental impact of individual industrial complexes (Rahimpour et al ; Davoudi et al ; Mohammadi et al ). Others have focused on the environmental consequences of air pollution, wastewater disposal (Davoudi et al ), and waste management systems in certain industrial units (Rouhi et al ). The conclusions of recent studies indicate that emission and disposal of pollutants are compatible with national and international standards, but the pollution level of the region as a whole is above the acceptable level.…”

In the present research work, an environmental policy procedure for setting a cap on emissions, as a crucial step in any total emission control system, has been provided and evaluated. It is shown that general regulations on emission intensities and rates do not guarantee that ambient air quality standards are met in intense industrial zones. Local emission limits are necessary to meet ambient air quality standards in these zones. To that end, we used dispersion simulators to back-calculate pollutant concentration thresholds for a large and intense energy system in the Assaluyeh region of southern Iran. Verified modeling results indicate 218 d of pollutant concentration threshold exceedance in Assaluyeh in a simulated year. Back-calculation to assess the total permissible emission level indicates the need for 68% reduction in total emission to meet ambient air quality standards. We then used the model to help identify effective control strategies, including emission reductions and appropriate timing of specific operations. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2018;14:130-138.
