Monitoring the pollutants from the sources (stable and moving) and develop the monitoring program and improving the air quality.
A shortcut brief about the project
- It is one of the development projects for air quality control systems in the State of Kuwait.
- Through the project, a national emission factor will be developed to determine the contribution of all emission sources to the rates of pollutants in the outdoor air.
- Follow up on the sources of emissions and ensure that the permissible limits for the emission of pollutants into the outdoor air are not exceeded..
- Expanding the scope of the air quality monitoring and monitoring network in a phased manner from 2020 to 2035 due to the state's plan to use future lands.
Project aims:
- It will create a national emission factor.
- Develop a strategic plan for air quality management.
- Creating a unified database for air quality monitoring and follow-up systems and emission sources monitoring.
- Continuous monitoring of pollutants and their quantities.
- Placement of pollutants to their sources.
- Determine the fingerprint of pollution.
The actions of execution stage of the project :
First stage: developing the geographic database for air quality and gas emission in Kuwait City .
- Review the geographic databases for the air and emissions sector, develop them, and merge them into a unified database.
- Conducting a comprehensive survey of the State of Kuwait by collecting information, data and maps from the concerned state authorities to determine land use.
- Conduct a comprehensive survey to determine the different fixed and mobile pollution sources and determine emission factors for air pollutants.
- Emission map for air pollutants using geographical information systems.
- Complete the required data and enter it in the unified geographical database in the Environment Public Authority.
Second stage: Reviewing, evaluating and developing the current status of air quality monitoring and monitoring stations in the State of Kuwait.
Third stage: Determine the fingerprint of pollution and the pollutants placement of their sources.
Fourth stage: Evaluating and developing the scientific and technical capabilities and capabilities of the Air Quality Monitoring and Monitoring Department staff and employees.
Fifth stage: Characterization of the relationship between future land use projects in Kuwait and the air quality monitoring program in Kuwait.
Sixth stage: Preparing the national strategy and national action plans to improve air quality for the State of Kuwait.
Seventh stage: Assessing occupational exposure to work environment pollutants.
