This study aimed to analyze air quality in two areas in the state of Kuwait with different traffic intensities. These are the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh district, next to two very busy main roads and the Dasman district, next to a less busy road. The study covered the years from 2012 to 2017 and included meteorological data and concentrations of NO₂, SO₂, CO, O₃ and PM₁₀. Air quality data were obtained from Kuwait’s Environment Public Authority (KEPA) based on hourly measurements recorded by stationary monitoring stations. The data were statistically analyzed using the “OpenAir” software package. Results showed that northwest wind direction was predominant. In Dasman area, the CO levels did not exceed the limits defined by KEPA, while in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, all the air pollutants exceeded the standards few times. Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh had 2797 exceedances levels of NO₂, while Dasman had 1560 exceedances. For CO, 31 exceedances were recorded in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh. For SO₂, there were 11 exceedances in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, and 6 in Dasman. For PM₁₀ the exceedances were 2424 in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh. Correlation analysis of the air pollutants revealed that there were insignificant correlations between concentrations of the five air quality parameters except for O₃ concentration that showed a strong negative correlation with NO₂ concentration (R² = −0.879). This may be due to chemical coupling of O₃ and NO_x, that makes the levels of O₃ and NO₂ inextricably linked. Busy roads around Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh seem to be a greater source of pollutants than the less busy road near Dasman area. The 3 times more traffic intensity at Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is adversely affecting the districts air quality.

这项研究旨在分析交通强度不同的科威特州两个地区的空气质量。这些是Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh区，在两条非常繁忙的主干道旁边，而Dasman区在一条不太繁忙的道路旁。该研究涵盖了从2012年到2017年的年份，包括气象数据以及NO ₂，SO ₂，CO，O ₃和PM _10的浓度。空气质量数据是从科威特环境公共管理局（KEPA）根据固定监测站记录的每小时测量数据获得的。使用“ OpenAir”软件包对数据进行统计分析。结果表明，西北风向为主。在达斯曼地区，一氧化碳水平未超过KEPA规定的限值，而在Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh，所有空气污染物均超标数倍。耶利卜·舒舒克（Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh）的NO ₂超标水平为2797 ，而达斯曼（Dasman）超标1560。对于CO，Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh中记录了31个超标。对于SO ₂，在Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh中有11个超标，在Dasman中有6个超标。对于PM ₁₀在Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh中发生的事件超过2424次。空气污染物的相关性分析显示，除了O ₃浓度与NO ₂浓度呈极显着的负相关性（R ²  = -0.879）外，五个空气质量参数的浓度之间没有显着相关性。这可能是由于O ₃和NO _x的化学偶联，使O ₃和NO ₂的含量紧密相关。与达斯曼地区附近较不繁忙的道路相比，耶利布·舒尤克周围的繁忙道路似乎是污染物的主要来源。Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh的交通强度提高了3倍，对该地区的空气质量产生了不利影响。
