Bu çalışma, özellikle kış mevsimlerinde yoğun hava
kirliliğinin yaşandığı Balıkesir ili için yapılmış ilk hava kalitesi modelleme
çalışmasıdır. Balıkesir
il merkezinde bulunan bir sanayi işletmesinden atmosferik karbonmonoksit (CO)
salınımlarının kent merkezine olan olası etkileri mevcut meteorolojik ve yüzey
topoğrafya özellikleri dikkate alınarak incelenmiş ve CO salınımlarına ait yeryüzü konsantrasyonlarının dağılımlarını
gösteren haritalar AERMOD ile oluşturulmuştur.Elde
edilen sonuçlara göre, Balıkesir ili
için uzun yıllık hakim rüzgar yönü Kuzey (N) ve Kuzey-Doğu (NE) yönlü olarak belirlenmiştir ve kaynaktan
yayılan maksimum günlük 8 saatlik ortalama CO konsantrasyonu modelleme sonucuna
göre 34,01 μg.m-3 olarak tahmin edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, tahmin
edilen CO seviyelerinin yasal sınırları aşmadığı ve şehir merkezine olumsuz bir
etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca incelenen kaynağa yakın kabul
edilebilecek yerde tam teşekküllü bir hastanenin olması, yapılan çalışmayı daha
önemli bir hale getirmektedir. Modelleme sonucuna göre, kaynaktan salınan
maksimum günlük 8 saatlik ortalama CO konsantrasyonu yaklaşık 10 μg.m-3
olarak tahmin edilmiş olup, bu değerin yine aynı yönetmelikte izin verilen
yasal sınırları aşmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarının, halkın bilinçlendirilmesine katkı
sağlanması ve yerel otoriteye karar alma sürecinde öneriler sunulması da ayrıca
çalışma kapsamında önem arz etmektedir.
This study is the
first air quality modeling study for downtown Balikesir where intense air
pollution levels are experienced during the winter seasons. The possible
effects of atmospheric carbonmonoxide (CO) emissions from an industrial
operation in downtown Balikesir were examined by taking into consideration the
existing meteorological and surface topography characteristics and the maps
showing the distributions of the ground level concentrations for CO releases
were created by using the AERMOD.According to the results, the prevailing wind
direction was determined as North (N) and North-East (NE) for Balikesir
province, and the maximum daily 8-hour means of CO concentration emitted from
the source was estimated as 34,01 μg.m-3 for the modeling study. For
this reason, it has been determined that the modeled CO concentrations do not
exceed the legal limits and there is no adverse effect on the downtown area. In addition, the fact that, there was a full-scaled
hospital that was located nearby the source. The location of hospital complex
made the air quality modeling study more significant. According to the modeling
result, the maximum daily 8-hour means of CO concentration released from the
source was estimated to be about 10 μg.m-3 for the hospital area. It
has also been determined that the modeled value for hospital does not exceed
the legal limits as states in the regulation. Within the scope of the study,
the obtained results are also important due to contribution to raising public
awareness and also provide suggestions to local authority in decision-making
process.
