Assessing Long-Term Post-Conflict Air Pollution: Trends and Implications for Air Quality in Mosul, Iraq
Journal: Atmosphere
Year: 2025

Prolonged conflicts in Iraq over the past four decades have profoundly disrupted environmental systems, not only through immediate post-conflict emissions—such as residues from munitions and explosives—but also via long-term infrastructural collapse, population displacement, and unsustainable resource practices. Despite growing concern over air quality in conflict-affected regions, comprehensive assessments integrating long-term data and localized measurements remain scarce. This study addresses
