  • 摘要:In this paper, we assess the extent of environmental pollution in terms of PM2.5 particulate matter and noise in Tikrit University, located in Tikrit City of Iraq. The geographic information systems (GIS) technology was used for data analysis. Moreover, we built two multiple linear regression models (based on two different data inputs) for the prediction of PM2.5 particulate matter, which were based on the explanatory variables of maximum and minimum noise, temperature, and humidity. Furthermore, the maximum prediction coefficient <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> of the best models was 0.82, with a validated (via testing data) coefficient <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> of 0.94. From the actual total distribution of PM2.5 particulate values ranging from 35–58 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, our best model managed to predict values between 34.9–60.6 μg/m<sup>3</sup>. At the end of the study, the overall air quality was determined between moderate and harmful. In addition, the overall detected noise ranged from 49.30–85.79 dB, which inevitably designated the study area to be categorized as a noisy zone, despite being an educational institution.
