Abstract

This study aims at the cartographic representation for the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO)
measured in ambient air of Basra City, by using a calibrated portable QREA II gas monitor. Measurements
have been carried out for three days during Mar/2012, in 34 sampling stations which have been selected on
an equal-distance grid of the study area map. A cartographic representation of the recorded values for this
pollutant has been applied, in the way of isoclines, and an accurate identification could been obtained for
spatial variability of the levels and impacts of carbon monoxide pollutant, and the affected areas have been
exactly calculated, as well as actual number of affected population has been estimated. The present study
concluded that about three quarter of the surveyed areas and habitants may be suffered from the studied
pollutant, and that this problem perhaps worsens in accompanying with the anticipated rise in gaseous
emissions released into the urban environment of the study area.
