ASSESSMENT OF AIR POLLUTION PARAMETERS IN BILECIK, TURKEY
Abstract
Urban air quality in devel oping countries has decrease because of population density, industrialization and energy consumption. In th is study, the air quality of Bilecik city in Turkey was evaluated by using the cluster an alysis. The analysis wa s applied to the air pollution data such as total suspended particle and sulphur dioxide (SO2). Single linkage cluster method grouped three years air pollution data into two clusters under similarity. Based on the years of the mean concentratio ns of parameters, it was concluded that 2008 different than 2009 and 2010. Finally, this paper showed that the usefulness of single linkage cluster method and mean concen trations of parameters for interpretation of air pollution parameters and management of air quality.
