【 摘 要 】

Background

Measurements of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide using passive sampler over 12 months in Samsun, Turkey, are compared with SO₂ and NO₂ concentrations obtained from a co-located chemiluminescence analyzer. The concentrations of Sulfur and nitrogen dioxide in the ambient air during the period from November 2009 to September 2010 are analyzed.

Results

The highest value for annual NO₂ and SO₂ averages of passive sampler was 29.65 μg/m³ and 21.01 μg/m³ for exposures of 2-weeks at an industrial site. The maximum monthly concentration for SO₂ was observed at the 10^th measurement station with 44.19 μg/m³ for August. The maximum monthly concentration for NO₂ was observed on the 3^rd measurement station with 42.83 μg/m³ for November. A negative correlation between nitrogen dioxide concentrations and temperature (R² = −0.5489) was estimated. A positive correlation between nitrogen dioxide measurement with passive sampler and continuous measurement (R² = 0.6571) was estimated.
