ABSTRACT: The
core objective of this study is to conduct precise and real-time monitoring of the
industrial area Dammam located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) which

administrative blocks. The objective of this study is to monitor possible
outdoor and indoor air pollutant in the industry working environment. This
study shall help us to enable decision to be made on appropriate control
measures as may be required to protect the health of employee and occupant who
may be exposed to air contamination at workplace. Air pollution monitoring in
ambient air environment finding shall be compared with national ambient air
quality environmental standard while parameters monitoring in indoor air
environment is compared with international standards such as occupational
health and safety administration (OSHA), National institute for occupational
safety and health (NIOSH) and Australian national health and medical research
council (NHMRC). This environment review study for ensuring industry regulatory
compliance for the facility and general authority of meteorology and
environmental protection (GAMEP) previously known as presidency of meteorology
environment (PME). This study shall be comprehensive in nature and cover two
major types of monitoring and assessment such as ambient air quality monitoring
and indoor air quality monitoring.
