Abstract:

Air pollution problems due to the use of fossil fuels to meet the energy needs of large and small-scale cities, creates a negative impact on people and the urban ecosystem. Due to the bowl-shaped structure of Iğdır formed by Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains, in the winter air pollution in the city center of Iğdır has increased in line with population growth. In this study, the relationship between air pollution and climate parameters were analyzed statistically. The data obtained by the General Directorate of Meteorology in A.S. By the analysis, the relationships between the climatic elements such as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and the air pollution parameters such as particles and the amount of SO2 in the air are examined. According to the results obtained from the research in the city, there is a significant correlation between the climate and air pollution and also topographic factors and land use that affect both of them.
