INVESTIGATION OF SO2 RESULTS WITH PASSIVE DIFFUSIVE SAMPLERS AROUND 18 MART CAN THERMAL POWER PLANT IN CANAKKALE

In Turkey, one of the major air pollution sources is energy utilization due to the combustion of lignite. Increasing energy consumption and use of domestic lignite causes the unavoidable increase of SO2 pollution. Especially around large combustion plants (i.e. coal-fired thermal power plants), monitoring cost is critical for evaluation of environmental impacts, since their impact area is very large, depending on measurement techniques.
