Özet:

 Although vehicle traffic is an inevitable reality in modern urban areas, it brings significant environmental problems. In recent years, the increase in vehicle ownership has been linked to rising transportation-related noise and particulate matter PM pollution, which are associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding and managing noise and particulate matter pollution is crucial for public welfare and sustainable urban development. In this study, the levels of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 and noise pollution in Alifuatpaşa neighborhood of Geyve district in Sakarya province were evaluated through field measurements. Due to the rail system infrastructure work on the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed train YHT route, the closure of a level crossing at the entrance of Geyve has forced transportation to and from industrial facilities and the inner parts through Alifuatpaşa, significantly altering the areas vehicle density and composition. The measurements taken at eight different points along the redirected traffic route were assessed according to current standards, revealing that noise levels slightly exceeded the permitted limits and particulate matter pollution was significantly above the existing limits. Considering the environmental impacts under current traffic conditions is essential, as well as monitoring the increase in pollution that may occur in non-temporary redirected traffic situations and taking necessary measures, is important for public health and justice.

 Araç trafiği, modern kentsel alanlarda kaçınılmaz bir gerçeklik olsa da önemli çevresel sorunları beraberinde getirmektedir. Son yıllarda artan araç sahipliğine paralel olarak ulaşım kaynaklı artan gürültü ve partikül madde PM kirliliği, solunum ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar gibi sağlık sorunlarıyla ilişkilendirilmektedir. Gürültü ve partikül madde kirliliğinin, halkın refahı ve sürdürülebilir kentsel gelişim için anlaşılması ve yönetilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Sakarya ili Geyve ilçesi Alifuatpaşa Mahallesinin partikül PM2.5 ve PM10 ve gürültü düzeyleri saha ölçümleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Ankara-İstanbul yüksek hızlı tren YHT güzergahı üzerinde bulunan bölgede, raylı sistem altyapı çalışmaları sebebi ile Geyve girişinde kapatılan hemzemin geçit bölgedeki endüstriyel tesislere ve iç kesimlere olan ulaşımı Alifuatpaşa üzerinden yapılmaya zorlamış; bu durum ise bölgedeki araç yoğunluğu ve kompozisyonunu önemli ölçüde değiştirmiştir. Yapılan çalışmada, ilgili yönlendirilmiş trafik güzergahı üzerinde 8 farklı noktada alınan PM2.5, PM10 ve gürültü ölçümleri mevcut standartlar bakımında değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan ölçümlerde gürültü düzeylerinin izin verilen sınırların üst seviyelerinde ve zaman zaman da sınırı aşan düzeylerde olduğu; partikül madde kirliliğinin ise mevcut sınırların çok üzerinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Mevcut trafik şartlarında çevresel etkilerin dikkate alınması gerekliliğinin yanında, özellikle kısa süreli olmayan yönlendirilmiş trafik durumlarında oluşabilecek kirlilik artışının izlenmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması toplum sağlığı ve adalet anlayışı bakımından önemlidir.
