AIR POLLUTION AND ITS ANALYSIS IN TASHKENT AND NAVOIY CITIES DURING 1995–2010
Abstract
This article analyzes the level of atmospheric air pollution in the cities of Navoiy and Tashkent during the period from 1995 to 2010. The study examines major pollutants including suspended particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), nitrogen oxide (NO), phenol, hydrogen fluoride (HF), and ammonia (NH₃). The levels of pollution, trends of change, and main sources are compared between the two cities. Based on the results, recommendations are provided to strengthen environmental control and reduce air pollutants in both cities. The study holds significant scientific value for identifying pollution issues related to industrial activity, transportation, and urbanization in the regions.
