SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION IN URBAN AREAS: SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION IN URBAN AREAS Increase in the density of population Inappropriate location of cities in terms of topographical and meteorological conditions Industrial location in city centers


AIR POLLUTION FROM HEATING: AIR POLLUTION FROM HEATING Use of unimproved low quality fuels Applications of wrong methods of combustion Failure to provide regular maintenance of boilers Not widespread central heating systems


FUEL QUALITY STANDARDS: FUEL QUALITY STANDARDS


MONITORING STATIONS: MONITORING STATIONS Comprehensive information on air quality is limited to SO2 and particulates and to a few urban centers where these pollutants are measured regularly. For example , in Ankara, eight stations continuously measure particulate matter and SO2; two monitor NO2 and one CO levels. In Istanbul, particulates and SO2 are monitored at 16 stations; Izmir has five air quality monitoring stations. Turkey has here background (rural) stations in operation. In addition, various universities occasionally measure ambient concentrations of specific air pollutants such as ozone or heavy metals.
