Description

The purpose of the project is to determine the concentrations of major, minor, trace elements, sulfate, nitrate, ammonium ions, SO2 and total particulate matter in the Ankara atmosphere during summer and winter periods, and to determine sources contributing elements by using statistical receptor modelling techniques. For this purpose, we have collected air particulate samples on Nuclepore and Whatman-41 filters at three stations during the periods 15 March - 15 April 1988 and 15 September - 15 October 1988. Thus, we have a total of 360 samples to analyse. We are hoping to finish most of the analyses in 1989 and to complete the project in 1990. 8 refs, 5 figs, 3 tabs
