Abstract

In this study, particulate matter sampling was carried out in order to determine the indoor air particle pollution arising from photocopying. For that purpose, 9 different photocopy centers were selected in Kocaeli. The samples were collected with using a 5-stage Sioutas Cascade Impactor and the elemental compositions were analysed with ICP-MS analysis technique. Mass concentrations and elemental compositions of particulate matter collected was determined for 5 different size fractions (PM>2.5, PM2.5-1.0, PM1.0-0.5, PM0.5-0.25 ve PM<0.25) and the results of this study were evaluated within this context.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Kocaeli’nde seçilen 9 farklı fotokopi merkezinde, fotokopi kullanımından kaynaklı iç ortam partikül madde kirliliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla partikül madde örneklemeleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örnekler, 5 aşamalı Sioutas sıralı örnekleyici kullanılarak toplanmış ve element içerikleri ICP-MS analiz tekniği kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Toplanan partikül maddelerin kütle konsantrasyonları ve element kompozisyonları, 5 farklı boyut aralığı (PM>2.5, PM2.5-1.0, PM1.0-0.5, PM0.5-0.25 ve PM<0.25) için belirlenmiş ve çalışmanın sonuçları bu kapsamda değerlendirilmiştir.
