Investigation of environmental measurement values in working areas: Example of Usak University

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the physical risk factors originating from the work environment in the offices of the Uşak University personnel and examine the environment values in accordance with the limit values accepted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and make suggestions. In offices designated for the purpose of working; noise, luminous intensity, thermal comfort values (humidity, temperature and air flow rate), electromagnetic effect and radiation measurements. As a result of the measurements made, it was observed that the value of the air flow rate is 0 (zero) in all the metered offices and it is observed that the absence of the ventilation system causes this situation. It has been determined that all measured values outside the airflow velocity are in accordance with the limit values accepted by the ministry. The fact that the environmental measurement values are in accordance with the values accepted by the ministry indicates that the working environment is healthy in terms of the physical risk factors. Wall-type air-conditioners used in place of ventilation systems have also been found that the ventilation system partially fulfills its duty, but does not contribute to the air-flow velocity, which is the main task of the ventilation systems.
