In this research, an estimation is made for Turkey's future electricity generation. The starting point of the research is to determine the external costs associated with air pollution by continuing the current policies for electricity generation in Turkey. The focus of the research is calculating the benefits of an alternative electricity generation would bring; it aims to identify the health problems and associated cost that can be prevented by 2030 by increasing the share of renewables in electricity generation.
Similar to the other two data-heavy researches in this series, this study also presents projections at the plant level for the first time, aiming to provide a baseline for future researchers.

In other words, to estimate the health costs and health effects caused by air pollution from these plants. This research focuses on the still operational coal power plants that have been in operation since 1965 and provides estimations on a plant-by-plant basis.
The results of this research consist of a 2-page brief infographic available on the website, as well as four briefing notes containing detailed analyses for coal-fired power plants located in Zonguldak, Çanakkale, Muğla, and Iskenderun Bay (Adana and Hatay).

This research is the first study in Turkey to generate estimates specifically for power plants. The study was prepared to ensure data transparency and to discuss the issue of "external costs" when making resource preferences in energy production.

Lignite, also called brown coal, is the most health-harming type of coal. European countries are major contributors in terms of both production and consumption of lignite coal despite governments’ commitments on tackling climate change and improving air quality. In Europe, every year 50% of all global lignite is produced and consumed. This HEAL briefing provides an overview of the features of lignite and hard coal, and what their health impacts are. It also puts a spotlight on the individual, particularly polluting coal power plants in Turkey, Germany, Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye'nin gelecekteki elektrik üretimi için bir tahmin yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çıkış noktası, Türkiye'de elektrik üretiminin mevcut politikaların devam etmesi durumunda neden olacağı ve hava kirliliğine bağlı dışsal maliyetlerin belirlenmesidir. Araştırmanın merkezinde ise alternatifin yaratacağı rahatlama yer almaktadır; Türkiye'nin mevcut elektrik üretim politikaların devam etmesi yerine yenilenebilir kaynakların payının arttırıldığı bir elektrik üretimi biçimine geçilmesi stratejisiyle, 2030'a kadar önlenebilecek sağlık sorunları ve bu sağlık sorunlarının yaratacağı maliyetler ortaya konulmaktadır.

Production and use of oil, coal and gas results in the release of hazardous air pollution which impact people’s health in many ways.
Every year fossil fuel combustion cuts short the lives of an estimated 6.5 million people worldwide because of respiratory infections, strokes, heart attacks, lung cancer and chronic lung disease. According to the International Energy Agency, fossil fuel energy is the main culprit for air pollution, and coal-fired energy generation causes nearly half of all ambient air pollution.
Despite a growing awareness of the climate and health harm caused by fossil fuels, and high-level commitments to lead the world on to a decarbonisation path, governments around the world continue to provide billions worth of public funds to support the production of oil, gas and coal. Back in 2009, leaders of the G20, the twenty most economically powerful countries in the world, agreed to put an end to subsidies for fossil fuels. Nearly a decade later, and after the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, policymakers still need to move from words to actions. G20 nations continue to spend valuable taxpayer money on exploration and production of health harming fossil fuel energy and thus create a high burden on health.

Moreover, over the last ten years, coal-based power generation doubled. Running of each additional coal-fired power plant means an increase in harmful air pollutants and greenhouse gases. This report provides a summary of the latest findings on the health effects of coal power plants in three cities of Turkey; Canakkale, Izmir, and Tekirdag as well as providing a framework around air pollution levels and existing coal power plants in these cities.

Exposure to fine particles causes about seven million premature deaths each year. Globally, 93% of all children live in environments with air pollution levels above the WHO (World Health Organisation) guidelines. Both ambient and household air pollution contribute to respiratory tract infections that resulted in 543,000 deaths in children under 5 years in 2016. This study analyses the health benefits of reducing PM10 pollution to WHO standards for children by analysing the mortality, hospital admissions and symptoms. Methods: In this study, 2018 annual PM10 means for eighty-one cities of Turkey were analysed, PM10 is the most commonly monitored pollutant for Turkey. PM10 means were delivered from the official online monitoring system of the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation. Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) official population statistics in 2018 were also analysed for different age groups. WHO guideline values refer to 20 μg/m3 for PM10 annual mean when Turkey's legislation adopts 40 µg/m3 from 2019 onwards. Exposure-response function (ERF) and concentration-response function (CRF) for PM10 pollutant were delivered from the ExternE 1999 study and ExternE 2005 update. Results: Our analysis showed that annual PM10 means were below the WHO guidelines only in one city out of eighty-one Turkish cities, and there are not any PM10 data in nine cities. In Turkey, 19 million children (0-14 years, 23% of the population) are exposed to 49 μg/m3 PM10 in 2018 on average. PM10 annual mean was the highest (92 μg/m3) in Kahramanmaraş city that has two of the oldest coal power plants, as emissions are not reported by sub-sectors and cities, it is hard to comment on the pollution sources. If the annual PM10 concentrations in each city were reduced to WHO limits, 8,959 hospital admissions (respiratory, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular combined), 17.8% acute mortality and 11.9% infant mortality could be prevented in 2018. Conclusions: Our results show the great health benefits with the reduction of air pollutants especially for children. However, it is limited with the health findings relevant to PM10 emission, as finer particles were not widely monitored. This study suggests decision-makers monitor finer particles and encourage national cohort studies for risk groups.
