Abstract
In this study, the concentration of carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds was measured. Three residential neighborhoods were chosen in the city of Kufa, which were mentioned in the study area section, where 1% of the number of houses was chosen, results of (carbon dioxide, volatile organic Maysan residential neighborhood. the CO2 concentration (ppm) varies between 367 ppm and 2450 ppm, with an average value of 1,064±59 ppm. In addition, the VOC concentration (ppb) ranges from 44 ppb to 888 ppb, with an average value of 182±21 ppb. The results (CO2, voc) Al-Sayray residential neighborhood from 367 ppm to 1850 ppm with an average value of 1,083±111 ppm. VOC concentration (ppb) ranged from 28 ppb to 870 ppb, with an average of 352 ±65ppb.and show the results (CO2, VOC) from 435 ppm to 1950 ppm in the residential area of Altamar, Kufa, with an average value of 957.1 ± 97.479 ppm. The VOC concentration (ppb) ranged from 38 ppb to 788 ppb with an average value of 262.7 ± 224.48 ppb. Unfortunately, most of the results obtained in these were higher than the permissible limits set by the World Health Organization.
