The USDA Forest Service has developed a unique software and tree modelling suite called i-Tree. Several of its instruments are capable of exploring the benefits of trees and forests for pollution mitigation, reduction of storm water runoff, carbon sequestration and storage. However, the system remains underutilized for investigating the effects of trees on air quality. In this study, counties in California (CA), United States, were selected using the i-Tree Landscape tool. Next, several characteristics including land cover details, forest details, population, air quality, carbon sequestration capacity, and air pollution removal capacity, were investigated. When considering the air quality situation in these counties, O
3 and PM2.5 are the primary pollutants. The planting prioritization map of California was created based on population density, tree cover, plantable space, average PM2.5 and O3 concentration values, and the counties with the highest planting priority were selected using i-Tree Planting tool. Using this instrument, a case study on the modelling of the removal performances of these air pollutants by multiple new species (Turkey oak, Siberian elm, European hackberry, European white elm, common ash, European silver birch, velvet ash, black alder, bigleaf linden) in priority areas was conducted. The most effective modelled tree species in the area was found to be Turkey oak for its effects in improving air quality in general and O3 in particular. When compared to the effects of modelled trees, the effects of the existing public trees in California were determined to have a comparatively minor impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

General Medicine - Abstract
Due to the atmospheric pollution loads that started with the industrial revolution and have increased exponentially in the process that has come to the present day, the natural components of the atmosphere have been damaged and changed. One of the negative return points of this human-made degradation in the natural order is acid rain. Acid rains harm people directly and/or indirectly. One of the indirect effects is the negative effects on the food chain. Acid rains affect agricultural products, however, they affect the products from the soil. As a result, agricultural fields and agricultural products are damaged. The decreasing resources (water, etc.) with global warming and climate change also increase the negative impact on agricultural products. In this study, the negative effects of acid rain on agricultural areas were investigated and it was aimed to put forward the measures to reduce these negative effects.

Toz fırtınaları, rüzgârın yönü ve hızı ile ilgili olarak dünyanın birçok ülkesine yayılan ve yılda birkaç kez meydana gelen yaygın olaylardır. Özellikle partikül madde (PM), bu fırtınalarla yayılan ana kirletici maddedir. Toz fırtınaları nedeniyle, toz fırtınası geçişleri yolunda bulunan alanlarda PM konsantrasyonları hızla artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, istatistiksel değerlendirme Konya'nın Selçuklu ilçesinde ölçülen PM verileri ile yakınlarda bulunan Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığına bağlı hava kalitesi izleme istasyonundan sağlanan meteorolojik ve kirlilik verilerine göre yapılmıştır. Her iki veri setine de Pearson korelasyon testi uygulanmış veriler arasında önemli bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, PM2.5 ve PM10 verilerine ayrı ayrı çoklu doğrusal regresyon uygulanmıştır. Regresyon analizinin düzeltilmiş R2'si PM2.5 ve PM10 için sırasıyla 0.573 ve 0.559 olarak bulunmuştur ve bu da PM ile meteorolojik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin neredeyse yarısını açıklamaktadır. Hava sıcaklığının, PM kirliliği üzerinde en yüksek pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak, temel bileşen analizi (PCA) hem ölçülen hem de sağlanan verilere uygulanmış ve 4 farklı ana bileşen tespit edilmiştir. Ölçülen PM2.5 ve PM10, hava sıcaklığı ve bağıl nem aynı bileşen grubunda kümelenmiştir., Dust storms are widespread events that occur several times a year and spread over many countries of the world relating the wind direction and speed. Especially particulate matter (PM) is the main pollutant spread over by these storms. Because of the dust storms, PM concentrations increase rapidly in the areas found on the way of dust storm passes In this study, statistical evaluation was made accordingly the PM data measured with personal measurement device in Selçuklu District of Konya and the meteorological and the air pollution data provided from air quality monitoring station, which is affiliated by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, located nearby. Pearson correlation test has been applied to both data sets and a significant relationship has been detected between the measured and provided data. Moreover, multiple linear regression was applied to the data for PM2.5 and PM10 separately. Adjusted R2 of the analysis has been found as 0.573 and 0.559 respectively for PM2.5 and PM10 which explains almost half of the relationship between PM and meteorological variables. The highest positive effect on PM pollution was determined as air temperature. Finally, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to both data and 4 different principal components were detected. Measured PM2.5 and PM10, air temperature, and relative humidity were clustered at the same component group.

AIR pollution ,INDUSTRIAL pollution ,FOOD chains ,PLANT species ,AGRICULTURE - Abstract
In addition to the increase in the temperature of the world due to climate change, air pollution is increasing as a result of human activities. Air pollution is increasing as a result of industrial activities, heating, and motor vehicles. This situation causes disorders in the respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems in humans. In addition, air pollution does a great deal of harm to the ecosystem. In recent years, it has been observed that air pollution caused by industry and traffic also harms agriculture and deteriorates the quality of the products grown. It has been observed that air pollution causes developmental disorders and decreased photosynthesis in many plant species. Studies shown that grains, which are the main food source all over the world, are greatly affected by air pollution and can harm human health by mixing with the food chain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Geographical information systems are frequently used in analyses of air quality based on location and time. They are also used in the creation of pollution distribution maps to determine the parameters related to air pollutants. In this study, a spatial analysis of SO
2 , PM10 , CO, NO2 and O3 pollutants, which cause air pollution within the borders of the municipal urban areas of Konya province, was carried out for the years 2019–2020. In this context, air pollution maps were produced using the IDW interpolation method with data obtained from the National Air Quality Monitoring Network stations, which belong to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, in the Konya region. The results obtained were examined with maps and graphics based on the limit values found in the Air Quality Assessment and Management Regulation published by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. In this context, the periods of lockdown experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic were also evaluated in terms of air pollution. From the evaluation made on the values taken from the air quality stations, it can be observed that the air pollution did not violate the national limit value much in 2019 and 2020.

Air pollution has numerous detrimental consequences for human health, visibility, climate, materials, plant health, and animal health. A portion of air pollution consists of metals, which are emitted into the environment via the combustion of fossil fuels, industrial activities, and the incineration of metal-containing products. In this work, the particulate matter and particle-related metal pollution from various sources, in the Turkish province of Kayseri, were determined. AERMOD modeling was also used to examine the distribution of PM10 around the Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ). Particulate matter (PM10) samples were collected using MCZ dust collecting devices at six monitoring locations mainly affected by residential heating (Hürriyet, Talas, and Kocasinan), industry (OIZ), and traffic (Tramway and Cumhuriyet) during the autumn/winter months and at three monitoring locations mainly affected by residential heating (Kocasinan), industry (OIZ), and traffic (Tramvay) during the spring months. ICP-MS analysis was used to assess the concentrations of the heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, and Ni) in samples collected over 6 different time periods of 16 days each. During the autumn/winter months, the concentrations of Pb near roadways were found to exceed the Air Quality Assessment and Management Regulation of Turkey (AQAMR) limit value. During all the sampling periods, the Ni and Cd concentrations were below the AQAMR limit values. At the points associated with winter heating, the concentrations exceeded the AQAMR limit value, which may result from coal combustion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Air pollution is one of the most important problems that negatively impacts human health and disrupts the ecological balance by changing the atmosphere because of the pollutants formed as a result of natural events and human activities. This problem is growing because of the increase in population, the development of industrialization and urbanization. Pollutants that cause air pollution reaching the atmosphere directly without changing their form are sulfur dioxide (SO
2 ), hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and particulate matter. Secondary pollutants are formed by reacting with other substances in the atmosphere after leaving the source are sulfur trioxide (SO3 ), sulfuric acid (H2 SO4 ), ozone (O3 ), aldehydes, peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), and heavy metals. Besides, air pollution causes acid rain, increases acidity in lakes, destroys forests, damages agricultural and animal products, and significantly disrupts the ecological balance, especially in industrial countries Therefore, this issue should be evaluated in many ways such as modeling to predict future episode, monitoring to assess present air pollution levels efficiently and taking preventive precautions with respect to these evaluations. Artificial neural networks are one of the mostly used artificial intelligence prediction techniques for prediction of air pollutant future concentrations. It uses multilayer perceptron technique which consists of at least three layers of nodes: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer for estimating recent atmospheric events and air quality. This study aims to examine the studies on the use of artificial neural network models to predict air pollution concentrations accurately and swiftly. It has been proven that the application of this method for air pollution prediction allows the improving of prediction accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been affecting the world since the end of 2019. The disease led to significant mortality and morbidity in Turkey, since the first case was reported on March 11th, 2020. Studies suggest a positive association between air pollution and SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ambient particulate matters (PM), as potential carriers for SARS-CoV-2. Ambient PM samples in various size ranges were collected from 13 sites including urban and urban-background locations and hospital gardens in 10 cities across Turkey between 13th of May and 14th of June 2020 to investigate the possible presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on ambient PM. A total of 203 daily samples (TSP, n = 80; PM2.5, n = 33; PM2.5-10, n = 23; PM10?m, n = 19; and 6 size segregated PM, n = 48) were collected using various samplers. The N1 gene and RdRP gene expressions were analyzed for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, as suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to real time (RT)-PCR and three-dimensional (3D) digital (d) PCR analysis, dual RdRP and N1 gene positivity were detected in 20 (9.8%) samples. Ambient PM-bound SARS-CoV-2 was analyzed quantitatively and the air concentrations of the virus ranged from 0.1 copies/m3 to 23 copies/m3. The highest percentages of virus detection on PM samples were from hospital gardens in Tekirdağ, Zonguldak, and Istanbul, especially in PM2.5 mode. Findings of this study have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 may be transported by ambient particles, especially at sites close to the infection hot-spots. However, whether this has an impact on the spread of the virus infection remains to be determined.

Untidy urbanization and industrialization with rapidly increasing world's population has brought number of environmental problems. One of the most important effects in these problems is air pollution. The air is a platform that may pollute such as water and soil source. A person can live in case of absence of water for days but cannot live more than a few minutes without breathing stop. Therefore, the air is the most sacred rights with all the components in human life. Any concentration of air pollution in the region does not depend on only bring about pollution from sources on the amount of pollution but depends on also the current meteorological conditions. Konya province has located in cold weather region and mostly spending low quality fuels for heating systems. On the other hand, Konya metropolitan has high air population and many industrial factories which have produced heavy pollution during winter periods. This pollution may affect human health some days in winter time. The aim of this study is investigation of relationship between the concentrations of sulphur dioxide and some meteorological parameters in the city centre of Konya province that air pollution is become the first level pollution problem in recent years in Turkey., Dünyada nüfusunun hızla artmasına paralel olarak düzensiz şehirleşme ve sanayileşme, birçok çevre sorununu beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu sorunların en önemlilerinden birisi olan hava kirliliği bazen insan sağlığını tehdit edecek boyutlara ulaşmaktadır. Atmosferik ortam da tıpkı toprak, su ortamı gibi kirlenebilir olduğu gözlenmiştir. Konunun önemini vurgulamak açısından: bir insan günlerce aç-susuz yaşayabileceği halde nefes almadan birkaç dakikadan fazla duramayacağı bir gerçektir. Bu yüzden hava içindeki doğal bileşenlerin koruması yaşam için en kutsal zorunluluktur. Bir bölgedeki hava kirliliği değeri, sadece kirliliği meydana getiren kaynaklardan gelen kirlilik miktarına değil, aynı zamanda bölgenin yapısına ve o andaki meteorolojik şartlara da bağlıdır. Konya il merkezinde karasal iklim hâkim olup çoğunlukla ısıtma sistemleri için düşük kaliteli fosil yakıtların kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Diğer bir yandan Konya ilinde yüksek hava kirliliğinin yaşandığı kış döneminde ağır hava kirliliği üretebilen bazı büyük sanayi tesisleri bulunmaktadır. Bu kirlilik, kış döneminde bazen insan sağlığını önemli ölçüde etkileyebilecek düzeylere ulaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; son yıllarda Türkiye’de birinci derecede önemli hava kirliliği olaylarının yaşandığı Konya il merkezine ait bazı meteorolojik parametreler ile kükürt dioksit ve Partikül Madde değeri arasındaki ilişkilerin araştırılmasıdır.

İklim değişikliği birden faklı yol aracılığıyla etki edebilir; küresel ekosistem üzerinde etkileşimleri ve farklı yollarla etkileri olabilir. Ekosistem ortamında, arazi kullanımı değişikliği, kirlilik, ötrofikasyon, egzotik türlerin istilası ve asit yağış dâhil olmak üzere zaten ekosistemin değişimine sayısız stres nedeni vardır. İklim değişikliği, diğer ekosistem stres ile uyum içinde hareket eden başka bir değişim ajanı olarak kabul edilmelidir. Dünyada birçok ekosistemde, flora ve fauna içinde birçok türün zaten stres altında olduğu, küresel ısınma ve ekolojik çevre değişikliği ile etkilendiğini, ve flora ve fauna üyelerinin bazıları ekolojik strese karşı savunmayı kaybettiği bilinmektedir. Türlerin sayısı azalmakta ve yaşam şartları üzerine önemli etkisi olmaktadır. Bu makalede, farklı ekolojik sistemler üzerine küresel değişimin etkileri insan faktörü, doğal yaşam, küresel ısınma ve sosyo-ekonomik faktörler de dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir, Climate fundamental provides limiting opportunities of human activities and ecosystem functioning within global ecology. Climate change could effect on alterations in the frequency and severity of droughts and floods; water supply; air, soil, and water quality; ecosystem health; human health; and resource use and the economy. Climate change may act through multiple pathways; interactions in and impacts on the global ecosystem can be different pathways. Within ecosystem environment, there are already numerous stressors that cause ecosystem change including land use change, pollution, eutrophication, invasion of exotic species, and acid precipitation. Climate changing should be considered as another agent of change acting in concert with other ecosystem stress. All over the world in many ecosystems, flora and fauna were affected with global warming and change of ecological environment change that many species in flora and fauna were under stress and some of them were lost the defense of ecological stress. Reduction of species number was also important effect on habitat. In this paper, effects of global change on different ecological systems were written

The uncontrolled urbanization caused significant changes in urban environmental conditions due to increased buildup areas of cities, reduction the urban landscape, disruption of human-environment relations. The urban environments consist of two superimposed systems as being natural and human-made. Urban plans consist of both design and these urban environmental components. Especially planner’s environmental perception is too important for setting of environmental quality. Therefore, urban environmental quality and human value became the two key concepts of visual environment assessment. Each of these components have differences to its own geological, morphological, climatic structure etc. physical characteristics and that coming from social, cultural and systematic properties. So urban and environmental planners are responsible for shaping the urban environment as well as human, urban and environmental health professionals. This paper will be analyzed the environmental perceptions of university students of urban planning about urban environment and nature related to human and nature relationships. It chose Konya as a sample area for being a central living space of many all of university students.

Bu çalışmada, Konya ilindeki hava kirliliği seviyesinin tespiti ve insan sağlığına etki edecek konsantrasyonların tahminine yönelik çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Söz konusu amaca yönelik olarak, SO2 Analizör cihazı ile günlük SO2 ölçümü ve meteoroloji istasyonu kurularak atmosferik basınç, sıcaklık, rüzgâr hızı, nispi nem ve yağış parametreleri de günlük olarak ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca SO2 ölçümüne ilave olarak hava kirliliği çalışmalarında pasif örnekleme yöntemi de kullanılmıştır. Dört mevsimi temsil edebilecek şekilde 4 periyot halinde (Mart, Haziran, Ekim ve Ocak aylarında) Konya il merkezi hava kirliliğini yansıtması amacıyla 15 farklı okul seçilerek açık ortam SO2 (µg/m3), NO2 (µg/m3) ve O3 (µg/m3) ölçümleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. ArcGIS 10.2 software programı yardımıyla 15 okula ait SO2 (µg/m3), NO2 (µg/m3) ve O3 (µg/m3) değerleri ve okul konumlarının haritası hazırlanmıştır. Ayrıca bu okullarda ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerinin hava kirliliği bilgi düzeyini ölçmek için kış ve yaz dönemlerinde 2 defa anket uygulaması yapılarak SPSS 16.0 programında değerlendirilmiştir. Matematiksel modellemelerde yaygın olarak tercih edilen Minitab istatistik programı kullanılarak elde edilen SO2 verileri ile meteorolojik veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Özellikle kirliliğin yoğun olarak yaşandığı kış aylarında, meteorolojik koşullara bağlı olarak hava kirliliğinin önceden tahmin edilerek zamanında tedbir alınması hava kirliliğinin etkisini azaltılmasına önemli derecede katkıda bulunacaktır. Atmosfer uygulamalarında çok yeni ve klasik istatistiksel metotlara kıyasla oldukça başarılı sonuçlar ortaya koyan Yapay Sinir Ağları ve Bulanık Mantık modelleri ile SO2 ölçüm sonuçları ve meteorolojik veriler kullanılarak modelleme ve tahmin programının hazırlanması amaçlanmıştır. SO2 Analizörü ölçümü ile SO2 tahmini için hazırlanan yapay sinir ağı modelinde doğrulama için R değeri 0,93 ve pasif örnekleyicilerle dönemlik ölçümü ile tahmini SO2 için yapay sinir ağı modelinde ise doğrulama için R değeri 0,66 olarak bulunmuştur., In this study, determination of the air pollution level in Konya city and estimation of impact concentration on human health have been carried out. For this purpose, daily SO2 concentrations were measured using Infrared SO2 Analyzer equipment and meteorological station was used for measurement of atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and precipitation parameters on a daily basis. A passive sampling method was used for air pollution investigation, in addition to daily SO2 measurements. To put forward level of Konya city centre air pollution, measuring SO2 (µg/m3), NO2 (µg/m3) and O3 (µg/m3) levels at 15 school at different side of city centre, four period (March, June, October and January) were selected to represent 4 seasons of year. Air pollution map of Konya city centre via ArcGIS 10.2 software was presented using sampling schools location coordinates and passive samplers data of 15 schools ambient SO2 (µg/m3), NO2 (µg/m3) and O3 (µg/m3) concentrations. In addition to air pollution measurements, a statistical survey were evaluated in these sampling schools of primary, middle school and high school students to test the knowledge levels of the air pollution problem in winter and summer seasons at twice with the same schools students by using SPSS-16.0 application program. Minitab statistical software which is widely preferred for mathematical modeling, were statistically evaluated using obtained SO2 and meteorological data. Particularly, pollution intense during the winter months, with depending on meteorological conditions; when the air pollution was predicted, it will contribute significantly time to take measures to reduce the impact of air pollution. A new method, Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic models, in atmosphere applications and comparing with classical statistical methods, highly successful results revealed using SO2 measurements and meteorological data, modeling and preparation of forecasting programs were aimed. Correlation coefficients of R values were 0.93 and 0.66 respectively between daily SO2 measurement with ANN predicted values, and passive sampler SO2 measurement with ANN prediction values., Bu tez çalışması Selçuk Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Koordinatörlüğü tarafından 09101051 nolu proje ile desteklenmiştir.

PROTECTION of cultural property ,SUSTAINABLE development ,URBANIZATION - Abstract
Cultural heritage protection is one of the most essential components in the transfer of the identity of cities and communities to future generations. The concrete cultural heritage items representing traditional building technologies and social order are being used with the old or new various functions of conservation principles according to the needs of today's modern cities. Literature studies have shown that systematic assessment methods for assessing the relationship between conservation of cultural heritage and sustainable urban development are lacking (Guzman et all.2017). Cultural assets also provide sustainable ecological urban habitats to cities or urban communities to which cultural heritage must be used in the direction of balanced conservation principles. In this study, cultural heritage preservation policies, implementation tools and evaluation will be evaluated with reference to sustainable ecological planning principles at the historical city center where the Konya cultural heritage is predominantly located. At the and of the study the parameters that can be used to measure the relationship between cultural heritage management and sustainable urban development will be discussed in the case of the Konya city historical center.

Wheat germ is rich in polyunsaturated fats and affected the storage qualities of flour. Diet content is important for the oxidant-antioxidant system because insufficient or excessive nutrition can cause health problems in human diet. This study was investigated the effects of a wheat germ flour diet on total oxidation and antioxidant levels and the relationship between them in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae) adults. D. melanogaster (W
1118 ) larvae were fed with wheat germ flour (1-5%) until the adult stage. Total oxidant stress (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined in adult individuals, and obtained data were compared with SPSS.17 (p<0,05). It's stressed that a good amount of increase will occur in the activity of TOS (13,55 µmol/L) which the insects fed by the highest concentration (5%) compared to controls. It is detected that adding wheat germ to nutritional compounds in low concentrations reduces the level of oxidation whereas the consumption of large amounts increases the level of oxidation. The usability of wheat germ was investigated as a source of dietary supplement and determined that wheat germ will be used easily at level of 1% in non-target organisms by paying attention to usage doses and storage conditions.

Metal industry wastewaters include different types of heavy metals with respect to the metal production processes and products. There are several methods used for metal production industry such as refining and smelting operations. Both may produce air emissions like SO2 and particulate matter, wastewater originating from floatation and leachate, and other wastes like sludge and slag. Heavy metals of metal industry wastewaters are nickel, brass, chrome, gold, cadmium, copper, brass, and silver. Most of them may give severe damage to human and environment. For example, chrome ion leads to lung cancer, stomach ulcer, kidney and liver function disorders and death on human. Thus, heavy metal containing wastewaters could be very dangerous. Besides, plant species which have capability of accumulate heavy metals can be an option to bioaccumulate metal industry wastewaters while plant species which are sensitive to heavy metals can be used as a plant for phytotoxicity tests. In this study metal industry wastewaters were analysed in order to determine plant species whether they are sensitive or tolerant to heavy metals. During analysis phytotoxicity tests were conducted with different plant species.

Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Hava kirliliği etkilerinin küresel boyutlara ulaşması ile beraber hava kirliliğine neden olan kaynaklar da daha fazla araştırma konusu olmaktadır. Dünya nüfusunun hızla artış göstermesine paralel olarak enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı da artmıştır. Sanayi devriminden günümüze endüstriyel gelişim ve şehirleşme hava kirliliğinin artmasına neden olmuş, canlı ve cansız varlıklar bu durumdan olumsuz yönde etkilenmiştir. Ülkemizde hava kirliliği büyük oranda ısınmadan, sanayiden ve ulaşımdan kaynaklanmaktadır. Bunun yanında şehirlerdeki çarpık kentleşme, coğrafi yapı, atmosferik şartlar ve meteorolojik parametreler de özellikle kış sezonunda kirliliğin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasında Karaman, Kayseri, Konya, Nevşehir ve Niğde illerinin hava kalitesi izleme istasyon verilerinden yola çıkılarak PM10 ve SO2 parametreleri yıllık ve aylık ortalamalar üzerinden değerlendirilmiş ve karşılaştırmalı analizler yapılmıştır. Verilere göre beş ilin SO2 ölçümlerinin ulusal sınır değerlerini aşmadığı ancak PM10 ölçümlerinin ulusal sınır değerlerini aşıldığı görülmüştür. PM10 seviyesinin özellikle kış aylarında şehirlerin hava kirliliğine önemli katkısı olduğu dikkat çekmektedir., With the effects of air pollution reaching global dimensions, the sources causing air pollution are also the subject of more research. In parallel with the rapid increase in the world population, the use of energy resources has also increased. From the industrial revolution to the present, industrial development and urbanization have led to an increase in air pollution, and living and non-living things have been adversely affected by this situation. Air pollution in our country is largely caused by heating, industry and transportation. In addition, unplanned urbanization, geographical structure, atmospheric conditions and meteorological parameters in cities cause an increase in pollution, especially in the winter season. In this thesis, based on the air quality monitoring station data of Karaman, Kayseri, Konya, Nevşehir and Niğde provinces, PM10 and SO2 parameters were evaluated over annual and monthly averages and comparative analyzes were made. According to the data, it was observed that SO2 measurements of five provinces did not exceed the national limit values, but PM10 measurements exceeded the national limit values. It is noteworthy that the PM10 level has a significant contribution to the air pollution of cities, especially in the winter months.

Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Dünya üzerinde yaşayan milyarlarca insan her gün bilinçsizce tüketim yapmaktadır. Oluşan atıklar ise yine sorumsuzca davranılarak doğaya bırakılmaktadır. Doğal kaynakların hızla tükenmesinden dolayı insanlık yeni arayışlara girmiştir. Bunların içerisinde en önemlisi olan atık yönetimi ve geri dönüşüm milattan öncesine kadar dayanmaktadır. Satın alınan her ürün kişilerin kullanımına bir ambalaj içerisinde sunulmaktadır. Bu nedenle geri dönüşümü yapılarak iyi değerlendirilen atıklar ülke ekonomisine kazanç sağlamaktadır. Sıfır Atık Projesi ile başlatılan geri dönüştürülebilir atıklar başta olmak üzere tüm atıkların değerlendirilmesi konusu ülkemizde 2017 yılında başlatılmış olup 2019 yılında yönetmelik ile kesinleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, çevre bilinci ve doğal kaynakların korunması yönünde üniversitemizin mevcut durumu değerlendirilerek hangi çalışmaların yapıldığı ve yapılması gerektiği ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Sıfır Atık Birimi kurulmasından başlayarak atıkların ayrı sınıflarda toplanmasına kadar gerçekleştirilen tüm faaliyetler aşama aşama belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca toplamda öğrenci, akademisyen ve idari personelin katıldığı 306 kişiye uygulanan bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların atık yönetimi konusunda bilinçli olduğu görülmüştür. Daha sonra toplanılan atık miktarları üzerinden ekonomiye ve çevreye olan katkılar hesaplanarak ülke ekonomisine ne derecede katkıda bulunulabileceği sayısal değerlerle vurgulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, üniversitelerde atık yönetimi konusunda mevcut bilinç seviyesi ölçülerek nasıl daha iyi hale getirilebileceği konuları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir., Billions of people around the world consume unconsciously every day. The resulting wastes are again left to nature by being irresponsible. Due to the rapid depletion of natural resources, humanity has entered new searches. The most important of these, waste management and recycling, dates back to B.C. Each purchased product is made available to us in a package. Well-evaluated wastes benefit the country's economy. The issue of evaluation of all wastes, especially recyclable wastes initiated with the Zero Waste Project, was initiated in our country in 2017 and was finalized in 2019 with a regulation. In this study, the current situation of our university in terms of environmental awareness and protection of natural resources has been evaluated and it has been tried to reveal what studies have been done and what needs to be done. All activities carried out from the establishment of the Zero Waste Unit to the collection of wastes in separate classes are indicated in stages. In addition, a survey study was conducted on 306 people, in which students, academicians and administrative staff participated. According to the results of the survey, it was seen that the participants were conscious about waste management. Then, the contribution to the economy and the environment is calculated over the amount of collected waste, and the extent to which the country's economy can be contributed is emphasized with numerical values. As a result, the current level of awareness on waste management in universities was determined and information was given on how to improve it.

Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Ekonomik ve teknolojik gelişmelerin hız kesmeden devam ettiği günümüzde ulaşım konusunda da çok büyük gelişmeler yaşanmaktadır. Gelişen teknoloji, insanların alım gücündeki artış ve ulaşım esnekliği nedeniyle bireysel araç sahipliği her geçen gün artmaktadır. Artan araç sayısı trafik sıkışıklığı ve otopark ihtiyacını da beraberinde getirmektedir. Özellikle Büyükşehirlerde arsa maliyetlerinin çok yüksek oluşu eskiden olduğu gibi açık arsalar üzerine parklanmayı lüks kılmakta, cadde üzeri parklanmalar ise trafik sıkışıklığını bir kat daha artırmaktadır. Bütün bu faktörler göz önüne alındığında daha düzenli, modern, araca ve sürücüye ait ihtiyaçların da karşılandığı otoparklar ihtiyaç haline gelmiştir. Otoparklar türleri arasında kapalı otoparklar; çevresel açıdan çok iyi irdelenmesi gereken bir otopark sistemidir. Fosil yakıtların yakıldığı motorlardan egzoz yoluyla dışarı atılan yanmamış partikül madde ve egzoz gazlarının iç ortamda ne düzeylere ulaşabileceğini önceden kestirmek mümkün değildir. Bu konuda uygulanacak ampirik yöntemde gerçeği yansıtmayacaktır. Çünkü ortamın havalandırmasından aracın tipine kadar bir çok etken ortamda biriken emisyon miktarını değiştirebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kapalı otoparklar havanın kalitesi değerlendirmek için; Karbon monoksit (CO), Karbondioksit (CO2), Partikül maddeler (PM2,5 ve PM10) ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, İç ortamlarda sıcaklık ve nem değerleri kaydedilmiştir. Dört kirlilik parametresi ile sıcaklık arasındaki ilişki SPSS 25 paket programı yardımı ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada sıcaklık ile tüm kirlilik parametreleri arasında pozitif korelasyon olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ölçüm sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, tüm otoparklarda PM2,5 ve PM10 seviyelerinin EPA, WHO ve HKDY tarafından belirlenen standartları sırasıyla 1000-4000 ppm ve 150-180 ppm aştığı, ancak CO2 ve CO konsantrasyonlarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. 390-600 ppm ve 0.8-3.0 ppm ve bu seviyeler belirtilen değerlere göre kabul edilebilir düzeydedir., In today's world, where economic and technological developments continue unabated, there are great developments in the industry. Individual vehicle ownership is increasing day by day due to the developing technology and economy, the increase in people's purchasing power and the flexibility of transportation. The increasing number of vehicles brings with its traffic jams and the need for parking place. Especially in metropolitan cities, the high cost of land makes it luxurious to park on open lands, as in the past, while parking on the street increases traffic congestion even more. Considering all these factors, more regular, modern car parks that meet the needs of the vehicle and the driver have become a necessity. Types of car parks include indoor car parks, It is a parking system that needs to be examined very well from an environmental point of view. It is not possible to predict in advance what levels the unburned particulate matter and exhaust gases emitted from the engines in which fossil fuels are burned will reach in the indoor environment. The empirical method to be applied in this regard will not reflect the truth. Because many factors, from the ventilation of the environment to the type of vehicle, can change the number of emissions accumulated in the environment. In this study, To evaluate the air quality in the car parks; Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Particulate matter PM2,5 and PM10 were examined. In addition, indoor temperature and humidity values were recorded. The data were analyzed by using the program SPSS statistics 25. It has been mentioned the points that must be considered, measurements and suggestions to reduce air pollution in the car parks. When the measurement results were evaluated, it was observed that the PM2,5 and Pm10 levels in all car parks exceeded EPA, WHO and HKDY specified standards it was 1000-4000 ppm and 150-180 ppm respectively, but the CO2 and CO concentrations 390-600 ppm and 0.8- 3.0 ppm and these levels are acceptable according to the specified values.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been affecting the world since the end of 2019. The disease led to significant mortality and morbidity in Turkey, since the first case was reported on March 11th, 2020. Studies suggest a positive association between air pollution and SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ambient particulate matters (PM), as potential carriers for SARS-CoV-2. Ambient PM samples in various size ranges were collected from 13 sites including urban and urban-background locations and hospital gardens in 10 cities across Turkey between 13th of May and 14th of June 2020 to investigate the possible presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on ambient PM. A total of 203 daily samples (TSP, n = 80; PM2.5, n = 33; PM2.5-10, n = 23; PM10?m, n = 19; and 6 size segregated PM, n = 48) were collected using various samplers. The N1 gene and RdRP gene expressions were analyzed for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, as suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to real time (RT)-PCR and three-dimensional (3D) digital (d) PCR analysis, dual RdRP and N1 gene positivity were detected in 20 (9.8%) samples. Ambient PM-bound SARS-CoV-2 was analyzed quantitatively and the air concentrations of the virus ranged from 0.1 copies/m3 to 23 copies/m3. The highest percentages of virus detection on PM samples were from hospital gardens in Tekirdağ, Zonguldak, and Istanbul, especially in PM2.5 mode. Findings of this study have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 may be transported by ambient particles, especially at sites close to the infection hot-spots. However, whether this has an impact on the spread of the virus infection remains to be determined., Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM)

Yüksek Lisans Tezi, İnsan sağlığının yanı sıra yaşam kalitesini de önemli ölçüde belirleyen, hava kalitesini bozan tipik kirleticiler bulunmaktadır. Bu kirleticiler dış ortamlarda yaygın olmakla birlikte iç ortamlarda da sağlık açısından tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bunların izlenmesi ve kontrol altına alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada eğitim kurumlarında iç ortam tozlarında ağır metallerin tespiti ve sağlık açısından riskleri değerlendirilmiştir. Arsenik, kurşun, cıva, kadmiyum gibi yoğunlukları nedeniyle farklı adlandırılan ağır metallerin tespiti yapılmış, özellikle çocuklar üzerindeki etkileri belirlenmiştir. Vakitlerinin çoğunu bu ortamlarda geçiren çocuklar bu kirleticilere maruz kalmakta, bu tip kirleticiler öğrenme ve yetişme dönemlerinde tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmada Konya ili genelinde belirlenen okullardan alınan örneklerden elde edilen veriler ile beraber ortam şartları, öğrenci sayısı, kişi başına düşen alan, sıcaklık, nem gibi faktörler de göz önüne alınarak sağlık açısından risk değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Kirletici kaynakların sebepleri ve alınması gereken önlemler belirlenmiştir., Indoor air quality, an important indicator of public health, affects not only human health but also the quality of life. There are typical pollutants which are widespread in outdoor environment and threaten to health in indoor environment that degrade the quality of the air. They need to be monitored and controlled. In this study, the risks of heavy metal detection and health in indoor dusts were evaluated in educational institutions. Arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals have been identified due to their densities, especially the effects on children have been determined. Children who spend most of their time in these environments are exposed to these pollutants, and such pollutants pose a threat to their learning and upbringing. In the study conducted, risk assessment for health was carried out considering the factors such as ambient conditions, number of students, area per person, temperature, humidity together with the data obtained from the samples taken from the schools determined in Konya province in general. The reasons for the pollutant sources and the precautions to be taken have been determined.

Yüksek lisans Tezi, Hava kirliliğinin, başta insan sağlığı olmak üzere görüş mesafesi, materyaller, bitkiler ve hayvan sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz etkileri vardır. Hava kirliliğinin insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri, atmosferde yüksek miktardaki zararlı maddelerin solunması sonucu ortaya çıkar. Özellikle hava ortamında uçucu halde bulunan PM10 kirleticisinin zararı gün geçtikçe daha fazla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da Konya Organize Sanayi Bölgesi içerisinde partikül madde (PM10) kirliliğinin belirlenebilmesi için yirmi dört noktada ölçüm yapılmıştır. Ölçüm sonuçları, ölçüm günü ve saatleri bazında Hava Kalitesi Değerlendirme ve Yönetimi Yönetmeliğin de bulunan sınır değerlerle karşılaştırılarak Surfer Software ve ArcGIS 10.1 programlarında kirlilik haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Yönetmelikte belirtilen 50 μg/m3 üzerinde çıkan sonuçların trafik kaynaklı veya mekaniksel işlerden dolayı oluştuğu görülmektedir. OSB içerisinde ölçüm yapılan noktalardan trafik kaynaklı kirlilik korelasyonu ve taşınmanın da etkisi ile oluşabilecek kirliliğin şehir merkezinde kurulu olan istasyonlardan alınan verileriyle korelasyonları oluşturulmuştur. Trafik kaynaklı kirliliğin OSB içerisinde oluştuğu, OSB'de oluşan kirliliğin taşınmasının da etkisi ile merkezde kurulu istasyonlarda PM10 sonuçlarının etkilediği yapılan korelasyonlar sonucunda tespit edilmiştir., Air pollution has negative impacts notably upon the human health, visibility range, materials, plants and animal health. The effects of air pollution on human health rise by inhalation of high amounts of harmful substances in the atmosphere. Damage of PM10 pollutants that are found as volatile has increased day-by-day especially in the air environment. In this study, twenty-four points were measured in order to determine particulate matter pollution in Konya Organized Industrial Zone. Pollution maps were created in Surfer Software and ArcGIS 10.1 by comparing the results of measurement with limit values of Air Quality Assessment and Management Regulation that base on the measurement days and hours. It is seen that the results obtained in regulation above the 50 μg/m3 are caused by traffic and mechanical issues. PM10 pollutant correlation was done between number of vehicles that are on the strret and exceed the limit value in Organized Industrial Zone. Moreover, the conc mean value of points measured in OIZ and the results that are acquired by station installed around the city center were correlated with each other on the basis of transport/convection effect. It is determined that traffic-related pollution occurs within the OIZ and the effects of PM10 results.
