An Assessment Through Relationship Between Air Pollution and Climatic Parameters in City of Igdır
Abstract
Air pollution problems due to the use of fossil fuels to meet the
energy needs of large and small-scale cities, creates a negative impact on
people and the urban ecosystem. Due to the bowl-shaped structure of Iğdır
formed by Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains, in the
winter air pollution in the city center of Iğdır has increased in line with
population growth. In this study, the relationship between air pollution and
climatic parameters were analyzed statistically. The data obtained by the General
Directorate of Meteorology in Iğdır. By the analysis, relationships between the
climatic elements such as temperature,
wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and the air pollution parameters such as particles and the amount of SO2 in the air are examined. According to the results obtained
from the research in city of Iğdır, there is a significant correlation between
the climate and air pollution and also topographic factors and land use that
affect both of them.
