Ozone concentrations at a rural mountain site of northwestern Turkey

  • 1. Middle East Technical University, Ankara (Turkey). Chemistry Dept.

Description

Average ozone concentration at a remote site in the Uludag Mountain of Northwestern Turkey was 29 ppb for a 12 month period. Only 11% of the time 1-h average values exceed 50 ppb. The US Air Quality Standard of 0.12 ppm was not exceeded. The diurnal variations of O3 and NO2 were 27 and 2.3 ppb respectively, during summer 1993, indicating the impact of urban and industrial sources. Highest O3 concentrations were observed under southerly and northerly winds, suggestive of the transport of photochemically produced oxidants from Bursa city and industries and a coal fired power plant located downwind of the sampling site. 19 refs., 8 figs., 4 tabs
