An Assessment on Variation of Sulphur Dioxide and Particulate Matter in Erzurum (Turkey)

摘要: Sulphur dioxide and PM10 levels are investigated in Erzurum during the periods of 1990–2000 heating season to assess air pollution level. For that reason, emissions sulphur particulate matter were calculated by using consumption fuels Turkish emission factors. These values evaluated together with levels, which measured at six stations atmosphere winter periods. Results reveal 1990–1994 period, there is an increasing trend over Erzurum, quality limits not met. The daily 24 h limit (short-term limit) was exceeded 127 days 1992–1993 period. reason for this increase found be switching use low-quality fossil instead cleaner ones. also indicated a considerable decrease pollutants after 1995. This can explained more high-quality fuels. correlation coefficient SO2 obtained as r2 = 0.85, high value supporting idea both emitted from same source.
