Temporal variability of the precipitation chemistry in the forest area of Istanbul, Turkey

Spatial Variation of the Precipitation Chemistry in the Thrace Region of Turkey

“…Many studies have also been carried out on the variations of the precipitation chemistry in Turkey [9,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Şaylan et al [28] investigated the variations of precipitation chemistry in the urban and rural areas in Istanbul/Turkey. For example, Şaylan et al [9] analyzed the route and origin of precipitation in Istanbul and reported that 44% of the precipitation arose from W-SW direction, 18% from NW-W, and 15% NE-N directions of Istanbul city.…”

Back Trajectory Analysis of Precipitation Chemistry in the Urban and Forest Areas of Istanbul, Turkey

“…Fujita et al [2], Hontoria et al [3], Jain et al [4], Kang et al [5], Lee et al [6], Norman et al [7], Seto and Hara [8], Kaya and Tuncel [9], Saylan et al [10], Toros et al [11], and Tuncer and Bayar [12] have all analyzed precipitation chemistry. Furthermore, several researchers have calculated estimated long range transport paths of air pollutants or masses by back trajectory analysis [13 -18].…”

Diurnal evolutions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone (O3), and PM10 particles at a busy traffic cross‐road in the city of Tunis

“…It is generally agreed upon in the literature that, during the last two centuries, the world has witnessed large changes in the chemical composition of the air and that these changes are particularly associated with the emergence of number of new demographic pressures, recent industrial production modes and novel transport means [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These reasons stand behind the alarming increase of some gases in the atmosphere, namely sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon oxides (COx), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and dust particles, all of which have pernicious influence on human health, vegetation and visibility [8][9][10][11].…”
