Environmental Engineers Chamber has announced that the air polution in Turkey

 become air pollution crisis. Only 6 provinces out of the 81 provinces were clean.

 Ankara, Sıhhiye was the place where the most pollution was experienced, 

including Hacettepe, İbn-i Sina, Yüksek İhtisas, Numune hospitals and the Ministry 

of Health. Esenyurt and Şirinevler in Istanbul; Gaziemir and Bayraklı poison inhaled 

in Izmir. The 6 cities that came clean were Artvin, Bitlis, Eskişehir, Yozgat, Kırşehir and 

Kırıkkale.

Baran Bozoğlu, President of the Chamber of Environment and Engineers, announced

 the 2017 Air Pollution Report. Bozoğlu said, in terms of particulate matter and sulfur 

dioxide, only six of our cities are air conditioned. The most polluted provinces are

 Istanbul, Ankara, Adana, Amasya and Manisa. The air pollution problem in Turkey 

has turned in to crisis. Governorships and municipalities should take urgent 

measures. 

LIFE THREATS

Bozoğlu mentioned that Turkey's air drew attention is increasingly threatened by 

contamination life. He added that dirty air respiratory infection, cancer, premature

 infant deaths, disabled births and mass deaths reminded that caused.

ACCORDING TO WHO PARAMETERS

World Health Organization (WHO) is used to measure air pollution according to the

 PM10 parameter is regular and more than 35 days PM10 WHO exceed the limit 

value of the provinces considered dirty: Istanbul, Ankara, Adana, Amasya, Manisa, 

Bursa, Denizli, Nigde , Tekirdag, Hatay, Yalova, Sivas, Kahramanmaras, Kutayha, 

Sakarya, Kirklareli, Icel and Samsun.

THE HIGHEST HANDLING REGION

Baran Bozoglu listed the most polluted places in three major cities and explained 

the reasons for this: Sıhhiye, the hospital's most polluted place in Ankara. Citizens 

are actually being poisoned where they go to get health care, to find healing. Air 

pollution in Ankara is caused by traffic and heating. The use of poor quality coal 

has a great effect on this. Kayaş also has pollution caused by high-tonnage vehicles.

 In Kecioren, pollution is increasing day by day.

NO CLEAN LOCATION IN CAPITAL CITY

The capital's unclean zone is not available. We see that the main source of this is 

the transportation policy of Ankara. The other problem is the use of poor quality 

coal in the capital.

THE CLEANEST DISTRICT IN ISTANBUL

In Istanbul, we see that the limit values ​​are intensively exceeded in all stations. 

Istanbul, the district with the highest population in Esenyurt, where the highest 

air pollution. 248 days of the year, citizens here breathe dirty air. Again, Şirinevler, 

Aksaray, Başakşehir and Göztepe air comes at the top of the dirtiest places. The 

cleanest district of Istanbul is Şile.

URBAN TRANSFORMATION CAN CAUSE CANCER 

Istanbul's main source of pollution is urban transformation. The amount of dust 

from construction is increasing. Urban transformation is a process that needs to 

be planned very well for the solution of environmental problems. Planning of 

cities, opening of air corridors, is an important process for making green buildings 

with low energy consumption and low pollution. However, we are about to miss 

this opportunity. Municipalities need to use wetting work and barriers where 

necessary to prevent dusting. Otherwise, there is a danger of cancer in the regions 

of urban transformation.
