Environmental Impact Assessment of Tehran Iran Khodro Factory (EIA)

The research includes an assessment of the environmental effects of the Iran Khodro Manufacturing Plant, with an emphasis on the application of the Iranian Leopold Matrix Method, prepared by Majid Makhdoom. Experts from Iran Khodro Factory, Environmental Organization and experts of the Municipality of Tehran region 21 have been used to rate each work in this method. The result of the matrix may be one of the following: the project is rejected, the project is approved, the project is verifiable with corrective options, the project is approved with the submission of improvement projects or that the project can be approved by presenting improvement plans and corrective options.

By analyzing the Leopold matrix, it was determined that the number of negative algebraic effects is equal to 8 and the number of consequences, the negative algebraic average in the row is equal to 9. Among them, the number of negative consequences less than -3/1 in the column is only related to the effects of air pollutants. Which is equal to -3/3.

The results of the research show that the project is in the fifth position, which means the project of Iran Khodro Plant is approved by the presentation of the improvement plan and corrective options. In this case the number of ranking meanings in the column and in the rows is less than -3/1, but their number does not reach 50% of the states.
