Air pollution has been increasing rapidly because of the
human-based activities, such as mining, construction, industrial work, which
have accelerated since the industrial revolution. This acceleration is caused
by not only the high demand for vehicles but also the existence of a high
quantity of factories in order to meet people’s requirements. As a result, the
concentration of pollutants, such as particular matter (PM10), nitrogen
monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and ozone (O3), in the atmosphere have been increased by the consumption
of fossil fuels. The presence of these pollutants in the atmosphere provides
valuable information about air pollution. It is revealed by studies that air
pollution has negative impacts on both the species and their habitat in terms
of health and sustainability. In addition, the high rise of global mean
temperature and acidic rains are related to air pollution directly. The purpose
of this study to examine, analyze and provide graphical data about the level of
NO, NO2, NOx on the scale of Turkey by separating into regions : Black Sea
region, Marmara region, Aegean region, Mediterranean region, Central Anatolia
region, East Anatolia region and Southeast Anatolia region. In this study,
2010-2018 was taken as a period, and the evaluation was made on the basis of
Turkey's provinces. According to this study, it has been revealed that the
quantity of nitrogen dioxide and their variations (NOx’s) has been decreasing
over the years on the scale of Turkey.
