"Environmental pollution in the city of Mosul"

Abstract

          The manifestations of pollution within the study area include air, water, and soil, as well as pollution resulting from solid waste. As is well known, air pollution represents a mixture of these factors,  dynamically a complex containing gaseous compounds and particles generated from various and diverse sources subject to weather changes, and varying according to place and time. Among the manifestations of pollution spreading in the city's atmosphere, resulting from car exhaust, power generation stations, as well as factories, the city witnesses a concentration of carbon dioxide levels (CO2The concentration levels vary between the two sides of the city, ranging from high to low depending on the nature of the concentration near stations and factories, as well as other gases present in the city's atmosphere. Regarding the pH level of the river channel, The highest concentration level was reached (PH) Within the Khosr River estuary, the average concentration was (7.8) according to the field survey and data from the Remote Sensing and Space Sensing Center for 2025, while the highest concentration rate reached (PHThe soil content was (7.5) within the area of ​​the right side of the city landfill (Al-Sahaji). The soil was classified as slightly alkaline, and the areas of soil pollution were concentrated to the east and west of the study area. The data was obtained through samples from the Central Soil Laboratory at the University of Mosul for the year 2025. The work included field visits and relied on recent laboratory data and samples, in addition to using the (Arc GIS 10.8) To draw maps such as the map of the study area location and other maps .
