Odor pollution is an important type of pollution that is subject to complaints in terms of quality of life and health. Since the odor perception is a sensorial process that occurs naturally with breathing, it is difficult to avoid when exposed. H2S is one of the main sources of odor pollution and wastewater reservoir, estuarine and polluted river or waterways are among the most suitable areas for H2S formation. The aim of this study is to determine the changes in H2S concentrations on Araç Watercourse. Therefore, in this study, H2S concentrations were determined instantaneously by using portable handheld gas monitors in air samples from the surface of Araç Watercourse at 15 points within the boundaries of Karabük city, and at the same time, pH and temperature values were determined. According to results , there were statistically significant differences in the H2S and pH values between the sampling points (p <0.05). H2S concentration decreased in the order according to the sampling points as SP10< SP1< SP11< SP2< SP12< SP3< SP13< SP14< SP7< SP8< SP9< SP15< SP4< SP5< SP6. The highest level was determined after the industrial zone and the lowest levels were determined at the furthest point from the city center and industrial facilities. The results were shown in a map by using ArcGIS program.

Koku kirliliği, yaşam kalitesi ve sağlık açısından şikayet konusu olan önemli bir kirlilik türüdür. Koku algısı, nefes alma ile doğal olarak oluşan duyusal bir süreç olduğundan, maruz kaldığında kaçınılması zordur. H2S, koku kirliliğinin ana kaynaklarından biridir ve atık su rezervuarı, nehir ağzı ve kirli nehir veya su yolları H2S oluşumu için en uygun alanlar arasındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Araç Çayı üzerindeki H2S konsantrasyonlarındaki değişiklikleri belirlemektir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Karabük ili sınırları içerisinde 15 noktada Araç Çayı yüzeyinden alınan hava örneklerinde portatif el tipi gaz monitörleri kullanılarak anlık H2S konsantrasyonları belirlenmiş ve aynı zamanda pH ve sıcaklık değerleri belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlara göre örnekleme noktaları arasında H2S ve pH değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar vardı (p <0,05). H2S konsantrasyonu, örnekleme noktalarına göre sırasıyla SP10< SP1< SP11< SP2< SP12< SP3< SP13< SP14< SP7< SP8< SP9< SP15< SP4< SP5< SP6 olarak azalmıştır. En yüksek seviye sanayi bölgesinden sonra, en düşük seviyeler ise şehir merkezi ve sanayi tesislerine en uzak noktada belirlendi. Sonuçlar ArcGIS programı kullanılarak bir haritada gösterilmiştir.
