Özet
PM10 and gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2, O3, CO and SO2) have been monitored by Turkish Ministry of Forestry and Environment since 2006 both by ground base and mobile stations in most parts of Turkey. In this manuscript, data generated for six of these stations between 2006 and 2010 were evaluated. Three of these stations were located in Ankara, capital city of Turkey. In addition to pollutants listed above, PM2.5 samples and meteorological parameters were also monitored in Ankara stations. Two of them were placed in Ä°stanbul, which accommodates 15 million people as the largest city of Turkey. The last station was present in Kocaeli, which is about 110 km far away from Ä°stanbul and is known as one of the cities with poor air quality due to heavy industry. In this manuscript, the differences and similarities between the stations were investigated by means of cluster analysis. Used K-means clustering revealed that the similarity between stations located in Kocaeli and Ä° tanbul is higher as compared to ones in Ankara station, which can be linked to higher pollution in Marmara region, where Kocaeli and Ä°stanbul present. In addition, the air pollution index for each station was calculated to evaluate the level of air quality in the cities. Lastly, ventilation coefficient based on the daily mixing height, determined by using a meteorological processor namely PCRAMMET, and wind speed was calculated for each station to assess the dispersion potential of the atmosphere around the stations. Preliminary results indicated that the ventilation around the stations increases as the mixing height raises and reaches its maximum values just after the afternoon as it is expected.
