Abstract The objective of this research is to determine the atmospheric concentrations and spatial distribution benzene (B), toluene (T), ethylbenzene (E) xylenes (X) (BTEX) inorganic air pollutants (O 3 , NO 2 SO ) in Yalova atmosphere during summer 2015. In study, a combination passive sampling Geographical Information System-based geo-statistics are used with statistics autocorrelation characterise pattern quality based on these Yalova. temporal variations five types land-use, residence,...

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been affecting world since end of 2019. Turkey severely affected with first case being reported on March 11 th 2020. Ambient particulate matter (PM) samples in various size ranges were collected from 13 sites including urban background locations hospital gardens 10 cities across between May 14 June, 2020 to investigate a possible presence RNA ambient PM. A total 155 daily (TSP, n=80 ; PM 2.5 , n=33 2.5-10...

RATIONALE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2, has been affecting world since end of 2019. Turkey severely affected with first case being reported on March 11th 2020. Several studies suggest an association between air pollution and spread infection, that ambient particulate matters (PM) can present a potential, as virus carriers. The aim study was to investigate presence SARS-CoV-2 RNA PM. METHODS: Ambient PM samples in various size ranges were collected...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 became a pandemic at beginning of 2020. Turkey has seriously been affected with more than 2 million cases as 08.02.2021. Previous studies suggested that ambient particulate matter (PM) may carry virus. The objective this study was to investigate RNA on PMs collected from 13 sites including hospital gardens, urban and background locations in 10 cities Turkey, between May June 14, Quantitative real...
