Özet:

 Volatile Organic Compounds VOCs exert a considerable influence on atmospheric chemistry and human health. The principal sources of VOCs are the use of solvents, fossil fuels, vehicle exhausts and smoking. The objective of the study was to ascertain the outdoor and indoor concentrations of VOCs from vehicle exhausts at the main entrance gates of the campus and to evaluate the potential health effects of inhalation of the detected VOCs on the security personnel working at the entrance gates. The temporal framework for data collection was determined by the working hours of personnel stationed at the entrance gates. The mean VOC concentrations at the sampling points were 11.9 µgm³ at night and 9.6 µgm³ during the day at the East Gate, and 6.8 µgm³ at night and 8.8 µgm³ during the day in the outdoor air. The concentration of VOCs in the outdoor air was found to be 12.3 µgm³ at night and 16.4 µgm³ during the day, and 6.3 µgm³ at night and 9.3 µgm³ during the day in the outdoor air. The carcinogenic risks associated with lifetime exposure to VOCs are typically above the acceptable risk level of 1.0106. The chronic toxic effect value for both indoor and outdoor air VOCs is acceptable HQ1.

 Uçucu Organik Bileşikler UOBler, atmosfer kimyası ve insan sağlığını önemli ölçüde etkiler. UOBlerin en önemli kaynakları solvent kullanımı, fosil yakıtlar, araç egzozları ve sigaradır. Çalışmada, araç egzozlarından kaynaklanan UOBlerin kampüs ana giriş kapılarında dış hava ve iç ortamdaki konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi ve tespit edilen UOBlerin solunması ile giriş kapılarında görevli güvenlik personelinde oluşturacağı sağlık etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Örnekleme süresi, giriş kapılarında görevli personelin çalışma süreleri dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir. Örnekleme noktalarındaki ortalama UOB konsantrasyonları Doğu Kapısında, iç ortamda gece 11.9 µgm3, gündüz 9.6 µgm3, dış havada gece 6.8 µgm3 gündüz 8.8 µgm3 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Batı Kapısında ortalama UOB konsantrasyonları iç ortamda gece 12.3 µgm3, gündüz 16.4 µgm3, dış havada gece 6.3 µgm3, gündüz 9.3 µgm3 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam boyu UOBlere maruz kalmanın yol açtığı kanserojen risk genel olarak kabul edilebilir risk seviyesi olan 1.0106nın üzerindedir. Hem iç ortam hem de dış havadaki UOBler için kronik toksik etki değeri kabul edilebilir düzeydedir HQ1.
