History
Malé Declaration on Control and Prevention of Air
Pollution and Its Likely Transboundary Effects for
South Asia was endorsed by ministers of
environment of South Asian in April 1998. The
implementation had three phases. With the
completions of the baseline studies and national
action plans the first phase is completed. Phase
II is to put in place expertise and monitoring
equipment has already been initiated. The third
phase would provide meaning full information
for the policymaking and strengthening the Malé
Declaration.

Implementing a study tour across the country and
determining 8 proposed regions for the establishment of
all stations related to the project as follow:
Ilam province (west of Iran)
Khoozestan province (South west of Iran))
Mazandaran province (North of Iran)
Hormozgan province (South of Iran)
Khorasan province (North east of Iran)
Khoozestan province (South west of Iran)
West Azarbaijan province (North west of Iran)

Site Properties
Air Quality Monitoring Station of Dehloran in
Ilam Province
Name:
chamsari
Area:
one hectare
Location:
40 kilometer at the south of
ilam near the common Border of Iran-Iraq
Geographical situation: 32ْْ 23' of
north latitude and 47ْ 30' of east
longitude

The site type is for monitoring both the dry and wet sediments.
The construction and finishing of the station have cost about 20000
US$. It has a separate space with sufficient facilities to settle the
keeper and the related experts. The laboratory part has been
constructed and completely equipped by the necessary equipments
for this kind of laboratories.
Necessary water would be supplied using the wind energy which
costs 5000 US$.
The project needed electrical power has been supplied using about
25000 US$.
In spite of the project financial problems and providing most of its
costs through the national and provincial credits, the station has
been officially inaugurated in August 2005. The results are sent to
the project central office monthly afterward.
The measurable parameters are:
Dry sediments: SOx , NOx , PM10, TSP
Wet sediments: pH, EC, NH4+ , Alkalinity and Acidity, ……..
Data completeness:
Wet Deposition Parameters

Establishment of advisory
committee

Challenges and Difficulties




Due to the stations locations which are near the
boundary areas with no water or electrical power supply,
the facilities providing costs are so high and the allotted
budget is insufficient.
Concerning the significance of sampling and precise
analysis of the samples, training periods should be held
regularly and continuously.
Due to the area of Iran and the number of the neighbor
countries with noticeable pollution especially the
petroleum wells-related pollutions; more monitoring
stations should be established in Iran.
The necessity of more and continuous connection of the
project national central office at certain intervals to
transfer the project-related technology and the experts
and technicians technical knowledge improvement.
Plans for next three years
1- Monitoring Plan
2-Plan for Emission Inventory and
Modeling
3- Plan for impact assessment
including proposed institution:
1) Monitoring Plan
The recording pollutants are:
Co
NO2
SO2
PM10
PH, EC, TH, Mg, Ca, ………..
in Ilam Station.
Further Suggestion: To measure O3, VOC, UVB, …….
We also need more new stations.

2) Plan for Emission Inventory
Three main categories of air pollution sources
are:
1) Mobile Sources
2) Point Sources
3) Area Sources
Needs: More new stations
Implement some project to obtain
reliable statistics of emission inventory

3) Plan for Impact Assessment



Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Project
Supporting NGO’s
In order to deal with corrosion an integrated project has
been designed to construct some monitoring stations to
measure the pollutants which affect these phenomena
and also UVB that would be run after the final
confirmation as a part of the DoE executive activities.
