Gas flaring is an environmental issue across oil-producing regions since it generates air pollution and climate change conditions. This research evaluates the air quality effects of gas flaring operations on Kirkuk City’s environmental sustainability in Iraq. The research implements Geographic Information System (GIS) and Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) to analyze how pollutants disperse through the air wherein carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and particulate matter (PM) are examined. The investigation focuses on detecting polluted zones while conducting environmental damage assessments to develop sustainable control methods for contamination. Research evidence demonstrates that chemical emissions from flaring operations produce CO, SO₂, NOₓ, and PM, which generate unhealthy air conditions and public health dangers. Simulations from GPM confirm that air pollutant behavior changes depending on weather factors and leads to different contamination patterns. The evaluation using GIS methods presents information about environmental damage that results from land degradation alongside climate change impacts. This paper adds to the environmental sustainability investigation by proving the power of GIS-based spatial analysis and dispersion modeling for monitoring air pollution modifications at different locations.

摘要

Gas flaring is an environmental issue across oil-producing regions since it generates air pollution and climate change conditions. This research evaluates the air quality effects of gas flaring operations on Kirkuk City’s environmental sustainability in Iraq. The research implements Geographic Information System (GIS) and Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) to analyze how pollutants disperse through the air wherein carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and particulate matter (PM) are examined. The investigation focuses on detecting polluted zones while conducting environmental damage assessments to develop sustainable control methods for contamination. Research evidence demonstrates that chemical emissions from flaring operations produce CO, SO₂, NOₓ, and PM, which generate unhealthy air conditions and public health dangers. Simulations from GPM confirm that air pollutant behavior changes depending on weather factors and leads to different contamination patterns. The evaluation using GIS methods presents information about environmental damage that results from land degradation alongside climate change impacts. This paper adds to the environmental sustainability investigation by proving the power of GIS-based spatial analysis and dispersion modeling for monitoring air pollution modifications at different locations.
