SAKARYA'DA 2018 VE 2019 YILLARINDA AIRQ+ YAZILIMI KULLANILARAK NO2 HAVA KİRLETİCİSİNE ATFEDİLEN MORTALİTENİN TAHMİNİ

Öz

Hava kirliliği günümüzde insan sağlığını tehdit eden en büyük çevre sorunlarından biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Sakarya'da azot dioksit (NO2) hava kirleticisinin mortaliteye olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Hava kirletici verileri Çevre, Şehircilik ve İklim Değişikliği Bakanlığı'ndan, nüfus ve ölüm verileri Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) veri tabanından elde edilmiştir. 30 yaş ve üzeri nüfus için 2018 ve 2019 yıllarında AirQ+ yazılımı ile tahmini atfedilebilir oran (EAP), tahmini atfedilebilir vaka sayısı (ENAC) ve risk grubundaki 100.000 nüfus başına tahmini atfedilebilir vaka sayısı (ENAC/100,000) 20 ve 10 μg/m³ eşik değerleri (COV) için hesaplanmıştır. Sakarya'da 2018 ve 2019 yıllarında ortalama NO2 konsantrasyonları sırasıyla 28,12 ve 31,50 μg/m³ olarak belirlendi. 2018 ve 2019 yıllık NO2 konsantrasyonundaki artış nedeniyle, EAP 20 ve 10 μg/m³ COV için sırasıyla %3,21'den %4,52'ye ve %7,02'den %8,28'e yükseldi. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'nün (WHO) NO₂ için hava kalitesi kılavuz seviyesini düşürmesinin beklendiği gibi bu kirleticiye atfedilebilecek mortalitede artışa neden olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

PREDICTION OF MORTALITY ATTRIBUTED TO NO2 AIR POLLUTANT IN SAKARYA BY USING AIRQ+ SOFTWARE FOR 2018 AND 2019

Öz

Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems that threaten human health today. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollutant on mortality in Sakarya. Air pollutant data were obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change (MEUCC), and population and death data were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) database. For the population aged 30 and over, estimated attributable proportion (EAP), estimated number of attributable cases (ENAC), and estimated number of attributable cases per 100,000 (ENAC/100,000) population at risk group were calculated with AirQ+ software in 2018 and 2019 for cut-off values (COV) of 20, and 10 μg/m3. In Sakarya for 2018 and 2019, the mean concentrations of NO2 were determined as 28.12 and 31.50 μg/m3, respectively. Due to the increase in 2018 and 2019 annual NO₂ concentration, was increased from 3.21% to 4.52% and from 7.02% to 8.28% for COV of 20 and 10 μg/m3, respectively. It has been observed that the World Health Organization (WHO) decreasing the air quality guideline level for NO₂ resulted in an increase in death rates attributable to this pollutant, as expected.
