Özet:    Air pollution is one of the most important environmental problems in most developing countries. Industrialization, due to rapid population growth and urban infrastructure in Turkey to determine air quality is important. In this study, PM10 and SO2 concentration levels measured using data from the measurement station 103 has been evaluated in Turkey in 2017. The annual PM10 concentration values ​​obtained during the measurement period vary between 15.1-135.0 µg/m3 (55.3±20.2 µg/m3) and the SO2 concentration values ​​vary between 2.5-99.0 µg/m3 (14.9±12.8 µg/m3). When the PM10 concentration levels throughout Turkey usually indicates a homogeneous distribution except Eastern Anatolia Region. Similarly, when we look at the distribution of SO2 concentration levels throughout Turkey; coal deposits in the Thrace and Aegean Regions and Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Regions, especially in the cold season, the use of coal in these regions caused high levels of SO2 concentration. In addition, as a result of mapping of pollutant concentrations and meteorological factors, it was found that especially the mixing height, temperature and wind speeds were effective in the distribution of pollutant concentrations.
