This will enable assessing the extent of pollution , to evaluate control options and provide data for air quality modelling . These ambient air quality monitoring networks are designed to address environmental and human health objectives . The system will also help in identifying and managing risk or breach of norms by companies operating in the free zone . The monitoring will assist in determining the daily trend of air pollutants and to assess the free zone?s compliance with air quality standards. It will also assist in evaluating the potential impact of the air pollutants on the environment and on the health of the free zone population and the general public. In addition, reliable and updated information on air pollution will be available to the general public. |
