World is facing numerous environmental challenges, one of them being the increasing pollution both in the atmosphere and landfi lls. After the goods have been used, they are either buried or burnt. Both ways of disposal are detrimental and hazardous to the environment. The term biodegradation is becoming more and more important, as it converts materials into water, carbon dioxide and biomass, which present no harm to the environment. Nowadays, a lot of research is performed on the development of biodegradable polymers, which can "vanish" from the Earth surface after being used. In this respect, this research work was conducted in order to study the biodegradation phenomenon of cellulosic and non-cellulosic textile materials when buried in soil, for them to be used in our daily lives with maximum effi ciency and after their use, to be disposed of easily with no harmful eff ects to the environment. This research indicates the time span of the use life of various cellulosic and non-cellulosic materials such as cotton, jute, linen, fl ax, wool when used for the reinforcement of soil. The visual observations and applied microscopic methods revealed that the biodegradation of cellulose textile materials proceeded in a similar way as for non-cellulosic materials, the only difference being the time of biodegradation. The non-cellulosic textile material (wool) was relatively more resistant to microorganisms due to its molecular structure and surface.

ÖZET: Modern insan yaşamının yaklaşık % 90'ını kapalı ortamlarda geçirmektedir, bu nedenle iç hava kalitesi günümüzde insan sağlığı ve konforunu etkileyen önemli parametrelerden biri haline gelmiştir. Kapalı ortam havasında, NO x , SO x , CO x ve uçucu organik bileşikler başta olmak üzere pek çok kirletici gaz bulunmaktadır. Kirletici gazların yol açtığı baş ağrısı, göz, burun ve boğaz rahatsızlıkları, yorgunluk, cilt problemleri, öksürük ve bulantı gibi etkiler, yaşam kalitesini düşürdüğü gibi, çalışan verimini de olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, iç hava kirleticileri, iç hava kalitesini etkileyen faktörler ve tekstil malzemelerinin iç hava kalitesine olan etkileri incelenmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: İç hava kalitesi, sorpsiyon, tekstil, kirletici gazlar IMPROVING INDOOR AIR QUALITY WITH TEXTILE MATERIALSABSTRACT: People spend nearly 90% of their time in closed spaces therefore indoor air quality is an important factor that affects human health and comfort. Indoor air contains a variety of pollutant gases such as NO x , SO x , CO x and volatile organic compounds. Pollutants can lead to a number of complaints on people's health and work efficiency. The most common complaints are headache, eye, nose, and throat irritation, fatigue, skin irritation, coughs and nausea. In this study, indoor air pollutants, the factors that affect the indoor air quality and the effect of textile materials on indoor air quality are examined.
