Abstract

The main source of air pollution is harmful gases and particulate matter released into the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels. The emergence of the new coronavirus has caused a pandemic respiratory disease (COVID-19) in which vaccines and targeted therapeutics for treatment are unavailable. For this reason, the concentration levels of PM10 and SO2 measured with the help of data from 78 measurement stations in Turkey, primarily in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, were evaluated within the scope of the “National Air Quality Monitoring Network”. According to the average values calculated depending on some measures taken during the quarantine period, there has been a significant decrease in air pollutant concentrations such as PM10 and SO2, albeit in a short time. Depending on the population density of the 78 provinces represented, the ratio of the population in the regions positively affected by the decrease in PM10 and SO2 parameters to the population of Turkey is 87.6% and 70.2%, respectively. The rates for the regions negatively affected by the concentration increase were calculated as 11.8% and 29.8% for both pollutants.

Özet

Hava kirliliğinin ana kaynağı, fosil yakıtların yakılması sonucu atmosfere salınan zararlı gazlar ve partikül maddelerdir. Yeni koronavirüsün ortaya çıkması, tedavi için aşıların ve hedefli terapötiklerin bulunmadığı pandemik bir solunum hastalığına (COVID-19) neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle Türkiye'de Ankara, İstanbul ve İzmir başta olmak üzere 78 ölçüm istasyonundan alınan veriler yardımıyla ölçülen PM10 ve SO2 konsantrasyon seviyeleri “Ulusal Hava Kalitesi İzleme Ağı” kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Karantina döneminde alınan bazı önlemlere bağlı olarak hesaplanan ortalama değerlere göre PM10 ve SO2 gibi hava kirletici konsantrasyonlarında kısa sürede de olsa önemli bir azalma olmuştur. Temsil edilen 78 ilin nüfus yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak PM10 ve SO2 parametrelerindeki düşüşten olumlu etkilenen bölgelerdeki nüfusun Türkiye nüfusuna oranı sırasıyla %87.6 ve %70.2'dir. Konsantrasyon artışından olumsuz etkilenen bölgeler için oranlar her iki kirletici için %11.8 ve %29.8 olarak hesaplanmıştır.
