Zarghan is affected by numerous pollution sources such as oil refinery, an industrial park, and Shiraz-Tehran highway. The numerous contaminating sources around Zarghan can cause serious local air pollution. Sulfur dioxide gas is an important index of air pollution in cities. Therefore, in order to control and manage Zarghan air quality, it is important to monitor sulfur dioxide concentration in the surrounding area. It is also essential to know about the contribution level of other sources of pollution as well as dispersion radius of pollutants in the area. In this study, the concentration of sulfur dioxide was measured by passive sampling at 10 different stations. These values were interpolated in other parts of the city using ArcGIS software. The results of sampling showed that the concentration of the gas was 60\u2009\u00b5gm<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>around oil refinery. The level was 19\u2009\u00b5gm<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>in region located about 3\u2009km from the oil refinery. It was also demonstrated that the gas concentration was not higher than the standard limit within residential area. On the other hand, the role of the local highway and industrial park was not significant in contaminating air in urban areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/670590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,12]],"date-time":"2013-09-12T17:05:12Z","timestamp":1379005512000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Preliminary Assessment of Dispersion Level of SO<sub>2<\/sub>in Fars Industrial Region, South of Iran, by GIS"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Mansooreh","family":"Dehghani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Engineering Department, School of Health and Nutrition, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Mehdi","family":"Taghizadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Engineering Department, Estahban Branch, Islamic Azad University, Estahban, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0479-2343","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hassan","family":"Hashemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environment Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ebrahim","family":"Rastgoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Apadana University, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"1-2","key":"1","first-page":"13","volume":"15","year":"2000","journal-title":"Reviews on Environmental Health"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.issn.0366-6999.2011.12.024"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthplace.2005.09.009"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","first-page":"1","volume":"2","year":"2009","journal-title":"Jordan Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-069X-6-23"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.5194\/adgeo-4-63-2005","volume":"4","year":"2005","journal-title":"Advances in Geosciences"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.stam.2005.02.003"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00216-003-2389-9"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2004.07.022"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2012.04.032","volume":"429","year":"2012","journal-title":"Science of the Total Environment"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2005.07.070"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2012.07.044"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2010.08.037"},{"year":"2005","series-title":"WHO\/SDE\/PHE\/OEH\/06.02","key":"14"},{"year":"2012","key":"15"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2011.05.073"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2012.08.074"}],"container-title":["Journal of Environmental and Public Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jeph\/2013\/670590.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jeph\/2013\/670590.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jeph\/2013\/670590.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T17:50:17Z","timestamp":1498067417000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jeph\/2013\/670590\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["670590","670590"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/670590","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9805","1687-9813"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1687-9805"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1687-9813"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
