Complex mixtures of air pollutants, including ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen (NO2), black (BC), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), present significant health risks. To understand the factors influencing pollution levels their temporal variations, comprehensive high-resolution long-term data are essential. This study analyzed characteristics, lagged meteorological effects, patterns six pollutant concentrations over a one-year period at an urban residential site in Kenitra, Morocco. The results reveal pronounced seasonal diurnal variations levels, shaped by factors, emission sources, local geographic conditions. PM2.5, SO2, CO peaked during winter, while NO2 exhibited consistent peaks morning evening rush hours across all seasons, driven traffic emissions nocturnal accumulation. In contrast, O3 were highest summer afternoons due to photochemical reactions fueled strong UV radiation, winter lowest reduced sunlight. Lagged effects further highlighted complexity dynamics. Meteorological temperature, wind speed, humidity, pressure, significantly influenced with both immediate observed. Lag analyses revealed that PM2.5 BC responded humidity time, highlighting dynamics dispersion is sensitive temperature pressure changes, delayed impacts, formation was primarily reflecting complex processes. SO2 direction playing key role transport. These findings emphasize importance considering as well developing quality management strategies.
