DETERMINATION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS AND MORPHOLOGIES OF SEQUENTIAL RAIN SAMPLES IN ANTALYA REGION

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to characterize the morphological structures, size distributions and chemical compositions of the water-insoluble particles in the fractional samples by collecting in the year of 2020 in the Akdeniz University Campus area in Antalya province. In addition, the concentrations of major ions, their fractional distributions and, neutralization factors were determined in the fractional (sequential) samples of each rain event. The effectiveness of in-cloud scavenging (rainout) and the below-cloud scavenging (washout) mechanisms were calculated. D-series, one of the three rain events used in this study, was sampled on July 12, 2020 and 4 fractional samples were collected from this rain event. 8 fractional rainwater samples were collected in the rain event corresponding to the E-series dated on October 12,2020 and 10 in the F-series rain event dated on December 12, 2020. The results obtained were evaluated with various statistical programs, and the data quality of the results and source determination studies were carried out. Average pH values in the sequential rain samples were observed in the range of 6.06-7.13 and an acid rain event was not encountered. In the particle size analysis results of rain samples, the highest value measured in D-series samples was 33,339 µm, and 53.714 µm in E-series samples. Particle size distribution in the F-series samples could not be measured. In order to determine the transport regions of the sampled rain events, backward trajectories were calculated, source regions, source types and pollutant compositions were discussed.

ANTALYA BÖLGESİNE YAĞAN SIRALI YAĞMUR ÖRNEKLERİNİN KİMYASAL KOMPOZİSYONLARININ VE MORFOLOJİLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Antalya ili Akdeniz Üniversitesi Kampüs alanında 2020 yılında toplanan fraksiyonel numunelerdeki suda çözünmeyen partiküllerin morfolojik yapılarının, boyut dağılımlarının ve kimyasal bileşimlerinin karakterize edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca her bir yağmur olayının fraksiyonel (sıralı) örneklerinde majör iyonlar ve bu iyonların fraksiyonel dağılımları, nötralizasyon faktörleri belirlenmiş, bulutla taşınan (rainout) ve bulut altı yıkama (washout) mekanizmaları ile hangi oranlarda alıcı ortama geldikleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan üç yağmur olayından birisi olan D-serisi, 07.12.2020 tarihinde örneklenmiş ve bu yağmur olayından 4 adet fraksiyonel örnek toplanmıştır. 10.12.2020 tarihli E-serisine karşılık gelen yağmur olayında ise 8 adet ve 12.12.2020 tarihli F-serisi yağmur olayında da 10 adet fraksiyonel yağmur suyu örnekleri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar çeşitli istatistiksel programlar ile değerlendirilerek, çıkan sonuçların veri kaliteleri ve kaynak belirleme çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Örneklerde ortalama pH değerleri 6.06-7.13 aralığında gözlemlenmiş ve herhangi bir şekilde asit yağmuru olasılığına rastlanılmamıştır. Yağmur örneklerinde partikül boyut analiz sonuçlarında D-serisi örneklerde en yüksek ölçülen değer 33.339 µm, E-serisi örneklerde 53.714 µm olarak ölçülmüştür ve F serisi örneklerde ölçüm yapılamamıştır. Örneklenen yağmur olaylarının taşınım bölgelerinin belirlenebilmesi için geri yörünge hesaplamaları yapılmış, kaynak bölgeleri, kaynak türleri ve kirletici içerikleri tartışılmıştır.
