    An analogy on assessment of urban air pollution in Turkey over the turn of the millennium (1992-2001)
    (Springer, 2006) Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel
    Rapid industrialization and urbanization in Turkey, especially over the last twenty five years, has provided better living standards to its residents, but it also caused a decrease in environmental quality. In late 1970's, air quality monitoring activities were started in some major cities by individual researchers in Turkey. It was just around the 1990's that a countrywide program on continuous air pollution monitoring in major province centers and selected large towns was launched. The impact of air pollution on people depend on various factors, such as existence and magnitude of coal powered energy generation plants, type of urban heating and their efficiency, and the numbers and specifications of vehicles. In this study, current Turkish urban air quality over the turn of the Millennium (1992-2001) is studied in the light of the country's worst cities in terms of outdoor air quality, the number of upper respiratory diseases, sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia cases in these provinces reported by the state medical treatment facilities in 2001. The population that is under outdoor urban air pollution hazard was computed. A comparative analysis between the provinces that use natural gas and others that use fossil fuels was also completed in order to project monetary gains if the studied provinces will transform their indoor heating and industrial operations to be run by natural gas or other cleaner energy sources. If natural gas use in air polluted urban centers could be realized in the near future, approximately 212 to 350 million US dollars per annum could to be saved just by reducing health related problems caused by outdoor air pollution.

    Assessment of sea water quality around sunken MV Ulla ship on Iskenderun Bay, Hatay, Turkey
    (Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 2007) Sangun, Mustafa Kemal; Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel
    MV Ulla, which was a cargo marine vessel loaded with fly ash, ended its forced voyage at Iskenderun Port on February 20, 2000. The ship was abandoned there for 4(1)/(2) years. Finally, the vessel sunk on September 6, 2004. The load was removed from the vessel in order to comply with related regulations in summer 2005. This paper investigates the sea level metal levels between September 2004 and September 2005. It was found that total chromium during fly ash removal did not pass the upper limit of hazardous waste. limits. Furthermore, total suspended solids decreased in recovery ship tanks as a function of time during the recovery process of load.

    Determination of groundwater quality in Hatay Province, Turkey
    (Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 2007) Sangun, Mustafa Kemal; Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel; Odemis, Berkant
    In this study, groundwater quality of Amik Plain and its surrounding areas is illustrated. A total of 59 groundwater wells located throughout Hatay Province were examined in this study. It was found that the water quality of wells is to a certain extent good for irrigational use; on the other hand, some wells, situated downstream Asi River after Antakya (Hatay Province center), have relatively low water quality even for irrigational use.

    Determination of soil and water contamination around an industrialized town, Kazanli, Mersin, Turkey
    (Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 2007) Sangun, Mustafa Kemal; Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel
    In this study, concentrations of selected metals, namely chromium and nickel, in groundwater and soil were investigated. it was found that extensive chromium and nickel levels in soil that had been used for building materials and this could probably impair public and environmental health, such as in sea turtles, in the area. Toxicological risk assessment from water quality criteria indicated that aquatic toxicity from both acute and chronic nickel and chromium does not exceed estimated ecotoxicology levels.

    Monitoring surface water quality of Asi river during the 2006 Muslim Sacrifice Holiday
    (Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 2007) Ozdilek, Hasan Goksel; Sangun, Mustafa Kemal
    In 2006, the last 90 kin of the river (Turkish part only) is studied in terms of water quality during the Sacrifice Holiday that was observed on January 10-14. With respect to time, trace metal concentrations, in general, were found to decline but an increase in metal flux due to rise in river flow occurred.
