Air pollution is one of the consequences of industrial development that its severity is increasing day to day, due to the population growth and expanding urbanization, development of transport and fuel consumption increases. Awareness of air quality and trends of pollutants changes in different locations in a city can play an important and effective role in urban health management and macro policymaking. The first practical step in reducing the level of pollutants is the adequate knowledge of the pollutants details, including the type, amount and frequency of events throughout the year to determine the type of pollution and its source. In this paper, the results of hourly, daily, monthly and annual analysis of the various pollutants have been studied and scrutinized using the experimental data obtained from air quality measurement stations in the city of Saveh. In the end, In addition to the general solutions and suggestions for reducing the air pollution level in Saveh city,  two precise solutions include the construction of an underpass and construction of a high way have been presented which the geometry and detailed features of each one has been mentioned in the article.
