“…The impact of human activities on air quality has led to adverse social and economic situations (Darçın ). Air quality models are used to better understand and manage air pollution problems (Fisher ; Prodanova et al ), as they are powerful tools for source apportionment, emission control strategy, and population exposure calculations (Russell ).…”

“…The standard conditions set by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Iranian Department of Environment (IRI DOE) limit no more than 1 violation of the daily average health criterion, which in Iran and the United States is 150 μg/m 3 for averaged daily concentration of particulate matter 10 μm or less in diameter (PM 10 ) (IRI DOE and IRI Ministry of Health and Medical Education ; USEPA ). The European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) standards set a limit of no more than 35 d exceedance of 50 μg/m 3 daily average PM 10 and zero exceedance of the annual mean concentration threshold of 40 μg/m 3 (Fisher ; EC ). The World Health Organization's (WHO) annual mean concentration threshold is 20 μg/m 3 (WHO ).…”

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.
