    <abstract locale="en_US">Introduction: One of the effects of air pollution in the community was 
increasing mortality rate. Determination of contamination was the first step in 
improving the existing conditions. Therefore, the way of pollutants distribution 
and the timing and spatial changes were important. This study aimed to evaluate 
the risk of Parental Emissions (PE) of Isfahan steel company using AERMOD.
Materials and methods: In this research, the distribution of suspended 
particles of the Isfahan steel company were modeled in the AERMOD for 1 
h, 24 h and yearly average (30&#xD7;30 km2
), then the comparison of the average 
concentrations modeled with air standards clean country and Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) regional risk maps were provided in Arc GIS.
Results: The prediction of the distribution of 24-h mean concentrations 
indicated that the maximum value for the 24-h average was equal to 8.52 
EPA and 25.25 times, the standard Iran's clean air. Also, the prediction of the 
distribution of average annual concentrations indicated that the maximum value 
for the average annual time was 91.1 times, the EPA standard and 4.78% higher 
than Iran's clean air standard.
Conclusion: Health risk maps show that the risk spot was not regional in the 
direction of the region's wind and topography of the region was the main factor 
in the distribution of risky spots in the region. Legitimate use of the AERMOD 
could be useful in managing, controlling, and evaluating air pollutants especially 
in industrial units of the country</abstract>
