ABSTRACT: Air pollution is the major health concern in modern societies, especially in countries with arid and aggressive climate. Nowadays extensive research has been carried out to identify air pollution and its control. The main aim of this study is determine the atmospheric arsenic deposition concentration in Gonabad County in northeast Iran. In this cross-sectional study, the concentration of arsenic was measured by collecting of PM10 deposition from the ambient air of Gonabad urban areas. Samples were firstly taken by jar test method in four one-month periods in 2016 from Taleghani st., Imam Khomeini sq., Mend sq., Ghaffari st., and Sadi st., and arsenic concentration in the particles were determined by the Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS).
