Global pollution: Instance of air pollution in the world, European union and Turkey
Abstract :
Air pollution, which is among the most important environmental pollution types today, threatens the world of future and causes ecological dangers. Air pollution caused by increased use of energy due to the rapid increase in world population, developed industry and urbanisation can cause adverse effects on human health and other living organisms. In the present study, emissions of nitrogenoxide, sulphurdioxide, carbondioxide, which is the main greenhouse gas and forms the main air pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons causing ozone layer depletion and consequently global warming were investigated by considering all the countries in the world. The data taken by United Nations Statics Division and the results evaluated Turkey’s present condition exactly. International regulations and treaties such as Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change put an obligation on countries to measure air pollutants, reduce air pollution in a certain plan and program. The contracts and protocol contracts, development process, aim, scopes and sanctions taken by official web sites. As the result of the study it was seen how these regulations and protocols have changed the emissions of air pollutants. Situation in Turkey, which signed many of these protocols on air pollution, was also evaluated from the perspective of the world. The study showed an approach for Turkey to find its place in the general picture of air pollution by defining its present situation.
