The Effects of Mobile Thermal Power Plants on Air Quality in Turkey

Abstract

In this study, daily averages of air quality parameters were measured in two stations (S1 and S2) of the Organized Industrial District in Samsun. The meteorological variables were measured at only one station (S1), such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, and ambient pressure in 2007, the daily promised limit for nitrogen dioxide has been especially exceeded at 206 times for 1 st station. However, exceeds of the limit value in 2006 for 1 st station was reduced by approximately 3.5 times. The daily nitrogen dioxide concentration did not exceed the daily limit of WHO as for 2 st station.  The results can be obtained showed that the dominant wind direction is considered dominant wind direction in the entire region. It has been determined that the second station measurement results are higher than the first station measurement. To determine all of possible the environmental effects, the measurements should be analyzed at a lot of multi-point.
