Abstract

In Giresun, concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons compounds exposed to indoor air (kitchen) in of the houses in Autumn 2018 and Winter 2019 were tried to be determined using passive sampling method. Both natural gas and coal are used for heating at these stations, which have been determined five stations in Giresun. Passive sampling tubes were kept in the kitchens of the houses for 30 days using coconut-based activated carbon. After the activated carbons in the collected sampling tubes were extracted, 38 PAH components were analyzed by GC-MS. One Way ANOVA- Tukey test is performed to show differences between. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two seasons (p>0.05).

Giresun’da İç Ortam Havasındaki PAH Bileşenlerinin Mevsimsel Olarak Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Giresun’da 2018 yılı Sonbahar ve 2019 yılı Kış mevsimlerinde evlerin iç ortam havasında (mutfak) maruz kalınan Poliaromatik Hidrokarbonların (PAH) konsantrasyonları pasif örnekleme metodu kullanılarak belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Giresun’da beş istasyon belirlenmiş bu istasyonlarda ısınma amaçlı hem doğal gaz hem de kömür kullanılmaktadır. Hindistan cevizi bazlı aktif karbon kullanılarak pasif örnekleme tüpleri 30 gün evlerin mutfakların da bekletilmiştir. Toplanan örnekleme tüplerindeki aktif karbonlar ekstrakte edildikten sonra 38 PAH bileşeni GC-MS cihazı ile analizler edilmiştir. Tek yönlü varyans analizi One-way ANOVA, Post-Hoc testi (Tukey) uygulanmıştır. İki mevsim arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark görülmemiştir (p>0.05).
