Abstract

Global warming has become a controversial topic world-wide. It is becoming even more important for researchers to define vital tools and environmental solutions to alleviate the industrial release effects. This paper highlights environmental issues in an industrial area in Saudi Arabia. For the sake of clarity, the industrial environmental issues specified into air and water. Additionally, the pollutants impact into the environment by industrial manufacturing activities around the Jubail Industrial City (JIC) is the main reason of growing pollution problem.

The data constitute the results of monitoring campaign of chemical concentration levels in JIC located. A daily averages atmospheric concentrations of gases were measured at different sites located around the city. The result showed that the measurement of gases concentrations consistently correlated to each other through the season (i.e. CO2). However, the research indicates that direct traffic emissions have an important contribution to increase the gas level such as Particulate Matters (PM’s) and suspended material.
