Abstract

This  work determined the levels of certain pollutants (SO2,, NO, CO2, CO, Benzene, Toluene) in air surrounding some factories in EGYPT especially in “Greater Cairo”. Levels of air pollutants were determined using Infrared spectroscopy. The results obtained were compared to the permissible levels recorded in the law on the Egyptian Environment (law 4 for 1994). The obtained results revealed that some pollutants as sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide and benzene levels in the ambient air around some factories exceeded the permissible limit recorded in the Egyptian law. The toxicity of pollutants SO2 No and Benzene were studied on the blood gases Values ‘PO2, and Pco2, " and acid base status of rats exposed to highest recorded levels of that Pollutants.
