HAVA KİRLİLİĞİ İLE ÖLÜM VERİLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: ŞANLIURFA ÖRNEĞİ
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AIR POLLUTION AND MORTALITY DATA: THE CASE OF ŞANLIURFA

Summary/Abstract: Climate is one of the main factors affecting air quality. Climatic elements such as pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind can cause changes in air quality through effects such as transport, deposition, and chemical transformation of pollutants. Poor air quality can directly affect human health, and in recent years, air quality in densely populated areas has been steadily worsening. Air pollution is rapidly increasing, driven by pollutants, which are one of the main causes of this worsening air quality. Air pollution is a significant factor that not only affects air quality but also contributes to premature deaths. This study was conducted to understand the degree of correlation between air quality, air pollution, and mortality rates. The study examined the relationship between air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM10) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere and mortality data in the central districts of Şanlıurfa (Eyyübiye, Haliliye, and Karaköprü). Thus, the study sought to identify the direct or delayed effects of factors causing air pollution on mortality.
