Impacts of some meteorological parameters on SO2 and TSP concentrations in Erzurum, Turkey

Investigating the impacts of some meteorological parameters on air pollution in Balikesir, Turkey

“…For prediction of SO 2 and smoke concentrations, multiple regression equations including meteorological parameters and previous day's pollutant concentrations have been used (Kartal and Özer 1998). In another study presented by Turalıoğlu et al (2005), the relationship between daily average total suspended particulate and sulphur dioxide concentrations with meteorological factors for 1995-2002 winter seasons was statistically analyzed using the stepwise multiple linear regression analysis for Erzurum City. They have shown that, higher TSP and SO 2 concentrations are strongly related to colder temperatures, lower wind speed, higher atmospheric pressure and weakly correlated with rain and higher relative humidity.…”

Contribution of resuspension to particulate matter inmission levels in SE Spain

“…Such behavior of PM 10 has also been found in other semi-arid areas like the eastern Mediterranean (Maraziotis et al, 2008;Sezer Turalioglu et al, 2005). Dry climate results in more favorable conditions for soil dust resuspension and longer residence times of particulates in the ambient air.…”

Modelling of Ship Originated Exhaust Gas Emissions in the Strait of Istanbul (Bosphorus)

“…Çuhadaroğlu and Demirci (1997) found that "moderate" and "weak relationships between pollutant sulfur dioxide (SO2) and meterological factors in Trabzon city by using multiple linear regression analysis. Turalıoğlu et al (2005) developed a model by using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis which revealed the relationship between TSP and SO2 concentrations and meterological factors. According to the results of the model, there is a "strong" relationship between TSP and SO2 concentrations and cold air, relative humidity, high pressure, a "weak" relationship between wind strength and precipitation.…”
