Air pollution modelling in Erzurum city

Various techniques have been applied to air pollution modelling. In this study, a model was developed by applying a continuity equation to the air control volume over Erzurum city centre. Model parameters were calculated by regression analysis, using SO2 and particle concentrations taken in 1989-1990 and 1990-1991 winter seasons. Multiple correlation coefficients, R2, for all analyses were of the same order of 97%. According to this model, daily polluting concentrations are not only influenced by daily meterological parameters but also by the values of previous days. The proposed model allows estimation of daily polluting concentrations by means of meteorological data.
