“…Combustion of solid fuels is to be the primary factor behind the increase in PM 10 levels as well as PM 2.5 levels during heating season 44 . However, PM 2.5 concentrations rise outdoors along with PM 10 during dust transport events, 45 which could result in worst conditions if coincide with early heating season, that is, November. Given that the maximum PM 2.5 concentrations were reported in November, when both dust transport and the heating season coincide, associated short‐term health effects would aggravate during intersection of heating and dust transport periods.…”

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is impacted by polluted outdoor air in naturally ventilated schools, especially in places where both anthropogenic and natural sources of ambient air pollution exist. CO2, PM2.5, PM10, temperature, relative humidity (RH), and noise were measured in five naturally ventilated primary schools in City of Sanliurfa, in a dusty region of Turkey, Southeast Anatolia. Excess risk levels were estimated for particulate matter. Investigation was conducted through an educational year including two seasons in terms of anthropogenic effect, that is, heating/non‐heating, and natural effect, that is, desert dust transport/non‐dust transport. The median CO2 concentration was measured to be >1000 ppm in all seasons/schools. Temperature and RH fell out of the comfort zone in October–December, during which pollutant concentrations were considerably increased, specifically in November, that heating and dust transport periods coincide. The overall mean indoor PM10 and PM2.5 levels were 58 and 31.8 μg/m3, respectively. Risk assessment indicate that both short (incidence of asthma symptoms in asthmatic children) and long‐term (prevalence of bronchitis) effects are considerable with 10.9 (2.4–19.6)% and 19.5 (2.2–38.8)%, respectively. The findings suggest that mechanical ventilation retrofitting with particle filtration is needed to mitigate potential negative health consequences on children.

“…Dust and particulate matter reduce the efficiency of the PV module by reducing solar irradiation as they are attached on the surface or flown over the area of the PV module [6]. In [7,8], the authors show a clear correlation between particulate matter and solar irradiation. This implies that particulate matter can impact PV generation.…”

With the increasing penetration of the photovoltaic (PV) generator, uncertainty surrounding the power system has increased simultaneously. The uncertainty of PV generation output has an impact on the load demand forecast due to the presence of behind-the-meter (BtM) PV generation. As it is hard to assess the amount of BtM PV generation, the load demand pattern can be distorted depending on the solar irradiation level. In several literature works, the influence of the load demand pattern from BtM PV generation is modeled using environmental data sets such as the level of solar irradiation, temperature, and past load demand data. The particulate matter is a severe meteorological event in several countries that can reduce the level of solar irradiation on the surface. The accuracy of the forecast model for PV generation and load demand can be exacerbated if the impact of the particulate matter is not properly considered. In this paper, the impact of particulate matter to load demand patterns is analyzed for the power system with high penetration of BtM PV generation. Actual meteorological data are gathered for the analysis and correlations between parameters are built using Gaussian process regression.

“…Saharan dust outbreaks often observed in western Turkey (Baltaci, 2017) and the Mediterranean Basin (Kabatas et al, 2018) during the transition periods, i.e., spring and fall. Rastgeldi Dogan et al (2020) reported that City of Sanliurfa, in southeastern Turkey, receives dust from the Sahara Desert, the Syrian desert, and even from the Arabian desert. Turkey, due to its location, is under the influence of air masses transported from different areas.…”
