The main objective was to assess the level of air pollution, in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO). This work focused on the impact of atmospheric emissions, such as particulate matter (PM10) generated by industrial activities of petroleum refining, liquefied natural gas processing and petrochemicals, on ambient air quality in the region of Arzew (Algeria) during 2019. The study found that PM10 level greatly exceeded (51.18 μg/m3) the annual average (20 μg/m3) recommended by the WHO During the sampling period. This study also demonstrated that PM10 levels are dependent on industrial emission rates and weather seasons, peaking in the summer mainly due to stable weather conditions.
