Air pollution is one of the most significant issues brought about by modern urban life. Thousands of people are affected by air pollution and millions of people lose their lives due to air pollution related medical conditions worldwide every year. The increase in air pollution in urban areas constitutes a major risk particularly for the people with various medical conditions. For this reason, conducting studies on air pollution on a locational basis and identifying the factors that have a bearing on air pollution are of great importance in terms of determining the measures for tackling this issue. This study aims to identify the impact of locational change in the Central County of Kastamonu Province on the air quality. Air quality values are found based on the measurement of the CO2 amount and the particulate matter quantities of 6 different sizes (at 0,3 µm, 0,5 µm, 1,0 µm, 2,5 µm, 5,0 µm and 10,0 µm) depending on the weather condition. The results of this study account for how the study parameters change in line with the sunny, rainy and snowy weather conditions and in various different urban locations.
