| Zusammenfassung: | Carbon monoxide is one of the most important pollutants. It is a serious pollutant in terms of the air quality index (AQI) found in Tehran before 2000. Local meteorological conditions and transport systems are the strongest factors for changing pollution levels. Because of some restrictions in this paper, we discuss the effects of meteorological variables on CO concentration. Examining the trend of this pollutant and the effects of meteorological variables in a comprehensive plan to reduce air pollution is described in this paper. In order to discern changes in CO data, it is necessary to separate their different temporal components. Hence, study of the CO time series and its temporal components is needed. Also, meteorological signals must be removed in order to make better air quality management decisions for the future. Various methods have been developed for decomposing the time series into long-term (overall emission, pollutant transport, climate and policy related), seasonal (solar cycle induced), and short-term (weather related) components. These techniques are PEST, anomalies, wavelet transform, and the Kolmogorov-Zurbenko (KZ) filter. Kolmogorov-Zurbenko, as a low-passed filter, can be applied to datasets with missing data, and is much easier to use than the other methods, with acceptable precision. In this paper, it is used to separate the temporal components of average hourly CO and meteorological variables between 2000 and 2008. Results of this study indicate that CO has |
