This study presents indoor/outdoor PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations measured during winter summer in 15 homes Kocaeli, which is one of the most industrialized areas Turkey. Indoor outdoor mass elemental composition were determined using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Quantitative information was obtained on other characteristics such as seasonal variation, (I/O) ratio, PM2.5/PM10 correlations sources. Average indoor 29.8 23.5 microg/m(3) for period, 24.4 21.8 respectively. 45.5 59.9 56.9...
Abstract The main goal of the present study was to highlight how crucial odor evaluation methods may be for raising general standard living in a region. For this, dispersion concentrations detected by an olfactometric method area Kocaeli, Turkey, where problems are frequently experienced, investigated using AERMOD atmospheric modeling system. According findings measurement, mean industrial high at 1342 OU m –3 , while residential areas values were lower, 578 within selected area. As result...
Surface sediments from 17 stations in the Istanbul Strait and Marmara Sea were collected analysed for major trace elements by wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). Metal concentrations surface varied 1.3 to 7.2 % Al, 4.8 18 mg kg− 1 As, 119 599 Ba, below detection limit (bdl) 6.6 Cd, 222 Cr, 7.6 180 Cu, 1.0 5.5 Fe (10 000 55 1), 171 718 1for Mn, 3.3 64 Ni, 4.5 461 Pb, 68 Sn, 19 170 V 16 859 Zn. Three tools have been applied order evaluate metal pollution sediments;...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are some of the most important pollutants that have adverse effects on human health. In this study, simultaneous indoor and outdoor air samples were collected from four types microenvironments (restaurants, photocopy centers, dry cleaners, auto paint shops) in Kocaeli, Turkey both winter summer. Twenty-four VOCs detected using gas chromatography a flame ionization detector. The aim study was to determine VOC concentrations various workplaces investigate...
In this study, electrochemical peroxidation was employed to remove color and total organic carbon (TOC) from co-complex (acid yellow 194) dye using iron electrodes in a batch-mode operation. The effects relationships of the process variables were evaluated, optimizations carried out response surface methodology maximize removal efficiencies minimize operating costs relation energy, electrode, chemical (such as H2O2) consumptions. initial pH (2.0–6.0 pHi), conductivity (500–2,500 μS/cm, k),...
The study aimed to examine source apportionment of heavy metals the surface sediments in <63 µm size fraction. sediment samples collected from 34 sites at Western Bay Izmit were subjected a total digestion technique and analysed for major (total organic carbon, Al, Fe, Mg, S) trace (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, V, Zn) elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. results compared with marine quality standards, as well literature values reported assess pollution...
This study addresses the odor problem at a waste and residue treatment incineration utilization plant located within borders Alikahya district of Kocaeli province in Turkey. In first stage study, measurements were made designated sampling points, while second stage, concentrations determined receptor points through dispersion modelling using USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) certified long-range (>50 km) CALPUFF lagrangian puff model. final an analysis predicted observed...
Elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matters have been observed in recent years Kocaeli, Turkey, despite improvements pollution prevention technology that led to a reduction gas emissions. Local authorities should devise alternative strategies reduce the possible health effects variety pollutants affect air quality. The objective this study was identify potential sources VOCs, fine matter (PM2.5) coarse (PM10) concentrations atmospheric aerosols were collected...
