Abstract: Air pollution, rapid population growth, irregular urbanization, poor quality fuel use, rapid industrialization and the ever-increasing number of motor vehicles have brought significant environmental problems in recent years. Konya province is located in Central Anatolia region. SO2, PM10 and meteorological parameters have been measured in many regions in Konya since 1990. Measurements were carried out in 4 fixed stations located in different regions of Konya. In the present study, the relationship between daily average PM10 and sulphur dioxide (SO2) concentrations with meteorological factors, such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, pressure and precipitation, in 2012–2017 was statistically analyzed. The average pollution values obtained in this study was compared with Limit Values in the Air Quality Assessment and Management Regulation No. 26898 dated 06.06.2008.
