Abstract

Carbon monoxide gas is classified as one of the most dangerous gaseous pollutants in the form of air, which causes poisoning and even death of people through absorption in blood oxygen and the formation of COHB The usual ways to measure carbon monoxide pollutant in general and to check the air pollution index are air pollution measuring stations. However, for some places such as hospitals, educational centers, universities, military barracks offices, nursing homes, private homes, etc., carbon monoxide detectors or mobile measuring devices are used. . High costs, high error and lack of access of the general public to this type of measuring devices made the aim of this research to obtain a coefficient with high accuracy to calculate CO error in any place with the least cost, high accuracy and easy access. be placed by even non-experts. In order to find this coefficient, the data of the measurement stations of Mashhad city in a specific time period and simultaneously the data of Sentinel 5 satellite in the same time period were used and we named this coefficient as alpha. By multiplying alpha by the numerical value of the CO gas measured by the satellite, the actual size of the CO gas error will be calculated at any point and place on the earth.
