In the socio-economic development of Ba ria-Vung tau province, industrial development plays an important role, including the heavy industry of producing steel and steel billets from scrap. Currently, in the province, there are 6 steel factories that produce steel from scrap and operate in Phu My town. During the production process, although factories installed exhaust gas treatment facilities, the treatment has not been effective, leading to air pollution from steel factories becoming one of the issues that have received local attention recently. The study calculated air pollution emissions and used the TAPM-AERMOD model system to simulate the dispersion of air pollution from a steel factory to surrounding areas, of which one factory was selected for a case study (in Phu My town). Simulation results showed that the highest 1-hour, 24-hour, or 8-hour average concentrations of SO 2 , NO 2 , CO, PM 10 , and PM 2.5 all reached QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT in both seasons (dry and rainy). Meanwhile, the highest 1-hour average concentration of TSP exceeds 2.3 times (in the dry season) and 2.0 times (in the rainy season) in QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT. The study also simulated in the case of problem with exhaust gas treatment systems. In addition, the study calculated the environmental safety distance for the surrounding area and proposed measures to reduce air pollution from steel factories.

Background & objectives: Air pollution is considered as an ultrastructural element in urban transportation systems as an important indicator of human health. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the PM 10 pollution range of two main highways of Ardakan city and determine the contribution of these highways to the health risk of their residents due to exposure to these pollutants by modeling method. Methods: This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted on two highways of Meybod Ardakan and Ardakan Nain. IVE and AERMOD models were used for estimation of emission rate of PM 10 in four seasons of the year, and also dispersion and exposure rates to PM 10 . The information required to run the models was collected by observational statistics, information from the police research center and the meteorological research center of Yazd province. By identifying six PM 10 exposure groups in the pollution range of these two highways, the health risk assessment was performed using the proposed USEPA relationships. Results: In four seasons of the year, the mean and maximum concentration of PM10 of Meybod Ardakan highway were predicted more than Ardakan Nain highway. Although the minimum 24-hour and annual concentrations of PM 10 dispersion in Ardakan Nain Highway were less than that of Meybod Ardakan, the pollution limit of this highway was predicted more. Among the six groups exposed to PM 10 in all time intervals, the highest exposure belonged to Ardakan Naein road police and the least to residents of Shahid Paydar Park. Cancer and non-cancerous risk exposure to PM 10 was estimated in acceptable range in all age groups and categories. Conclusion:With the modeling method used, the contribution of the two investigated highways in predicting the health risk of surrounding residents was within the acceptable range.
