Increasing the Number of Blue Flag Beaches in İzmir, Raising the Standards for Swimming Water Quality, Environmental Management and Life Safety at İzmir Beaches
BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT
In line with the project goal, a blue flag coordination unit was established in Izmir metropolitan municipality in 2019 for the first time in Turkey.

To eliminate the odor problem that arises in some parts of the city, especially during seasonal changes, and to increase the quality of life of the city.
BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT
In areas with odor problems, odor filters are placed inside the sewer covers to provide air purification and deodorization to the manholes. The filter prevents the spread of bad odors by filtering gases such as hydrogen, sulphur, and methane gas accumulated in the duct lines thanks to the active carbon inside. The structure of toxic gases is deteriorated and fresh air is released to the outside. Filters also have the capacity to hold molecules. Objects larger than 20 microns cannot pass through the filter structure, thus preventing the insects living and breeding in the sewer from leaving the sewer lines.

*320 odor filters were installed in our metropolitan districts. Work continues.
