Estimation of air pollutants emission (PM, CO, SO and NO) during development of the industry using AUSTAL 2000 model: A new method for sustainable development.

There is well-documented relationship between industrial development and environmental pollution, but there are no enough studies that have predicted development impacts on pollutants emission. In the current study, impacts of three development periods of Bojnourd cement factory on pollutants emission (CO, SO, NO, and PM) were investigated using the AUSTAL 2000 model. The collected emission data during 19 years were classified for each period and analyzed via the model, separately.
