Source Identification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Particulate Matters in an Urban and Industrial Areas of Turkey PEKEY, BEYHAN; PEKEY, HAKAN; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Arslanbaşı, Demet; BOZKURT, ZEHRA (2015-06-01) Elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matters have been observed in recent years in Kocaeli, Turkey, despite improvements in pollution prevention technology that have led to a reduction in gas and particulate emissions. Local authorities should devise alternative strategies to reduce the possible health effects of a variety of pollutants that affect air quality. The objective of this study was to identify potential sources of VOCs, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse pa...
Source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in Ankara Atmosphere Uzunpınar, Elif Sena; Aslan Kılavuz, Seda; İmamoğlu, İpek; Sert, Ezgi; Yurdakul, Sema; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2016-11-01)
Source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in Ankara atmosphere Uzunpınar, Elif Sena; İmamoğlu, İpek; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2015) In this study, ambient concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) in Ankara atmosphere were measured to determine the current level and sources of these compounds. Sampling was performed at METU Department of Environmental Engineering from January, 2014 to December, 2014 with stainless-steel canisters. Mean VOC concentrations ranged between 0.04 μg m-3 (cis-2-pentene) and 10.30 μg m-3 (toluene) with average benzene concentration of 1.49 μg m-3....
Source Apportionment of Personal Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Volatile Organic Compounds using Positive Matrix Factorization PEKEY, HAKAN; PEKEY, BEYHAN; ARSLANBAŞ, DEMET; BOZKURT, ZEHRA; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2013-01-01) The objective of this study was to identify potential sources of personal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), NO2, SO2, and O-3 in an urban and industrial area of Turkey between May 2006 and January 2007. Personal exposures were determined once per person in 28 adults over a 24-h period. Energy dispersive Xray fluorescence and a wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry were used to measure 15 elements in PM2.5, including Al, As, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn,...
Source Apportionment of Ambient Volatile Organic Compounds in Bursa, a Heavily Industrialized City in Turkey CİVAN, MİHRİBAN; Kuntasal, Oznur Oguz; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2011-01-01) Weekly passive sampling campaigns were carried out over two sample periods to measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Bursa, one of the most heavily industrialized cities in Turkey. The measurements, taken at 40 points in October 2005 and 49 points in April 2006, revealed concentrations of 34 VOCs, including aromatics, olefins, paraffin and halogenated compounds; with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o, m, and p-xylene polymers (BTEX) being the most abundant compounds detected at all sample points. ...
