Figure 5. Positive effects of the settlement model from lowlands to the mountains in terms
of CO toxicity on people and agricultural productivity in plants.

Methods (liquid carbon dioxide, natural gas combustion, etc.) used for
carbon dioxide enrichment process in greenhouses (covered agriculture)
consume energy, they are costly and have some negative effects on the
environment (Tezcan et al., 2011). However, in the settlement model from the
lowlands to the mountains, CO fertilization can be performed in agricultural
2
production without any need for additional CO production, energy
2
consumption and expenses.

The Contribution of Winds to Low Carbon Dioxide
Moriwaki and his team (Moriwaki et al., 2006) found that as the wind speed
increases, CO levels decrease and CO levels in the city’s air approach to

2
those of rural air in windy conditions. As it is known, air flows called winds
decelerate due to the friction between the air and the ground; therefore,
stronger winds are usually encountered while rising higher from the ground
(Yan-chun, 2014). This is the reason why anemometers measuring the speed
12
of winds are placed in high places. In the settlement model from lowlands
to mountains, strong air flows can also contribute to the reduction of urban
CO load.

Market Regulatory Authority (Date: 17.06.2014; No: 29033), it is set out that “The length of the
wind measuring pole is at least 60 m.”.
