This paper presents an analysis of NO2 emissions in Mashhad City utilizing statistical evaluations and the Cisco Network Model. The present study begins by evaluating NO2 emissions through statistical analysis, followed by the application of histograms and radar statistical appraisals. Subsequently, a model execution logic is developed using the Cisco Network Model to further understand the distribution and sources of NO2 emissions in the city. Additionally, the research incorporates managerial insights by employing Petri Net modeling, which enables a deeper understanding of the dynamic interactions within the air quality management system. This approach aids in identifying critical control points and optimizing response strategies, thus enhancing the overall effectiveness of urban air pollution mitigation efforts. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the levels of NO2 pollution in Mashhad City and offer a structured approach to modeling NO2 emissions for effective air quality management strategies which can be extended to the other megacities as well.
