Air pollution analysis for Ankara by air pollution index highly correlated with meteorological variables

Urban air pollution is a common problem and has adverse effects on human health. High SO2, CO, and particular matter (PM) levels are a concern in large metropolitan areas where coal combustion is still an important mode of residential heating in low-income districts. In this study, air quality daily data is used for seven residential and three curbside monitoring stations in the city of Ankara from January 2017 to February 2018 to determine the causal relations between pollutant concentrations and meteorology variables by the Granger Causality Analysis.
