dc.description.abstractPollutants occur in aquatic ecosystems in dissolved or suspended forms. The polluting particles can move to the bottom as particles, or get spread over wide areas on the surface. The distance traveled by the pollutants in aquatic ecosystems depends on the stability of the chemicals involved as well as their physical state. Lately, human-based activities such as irrigation using wastewater, sludge applications, and mixing of industrial wastewater with agricultural soils are leading to severe pollution of agricultural soils in terms of heavy metals, which, in turn, adversely affects food safety. It is, therefore, necessary to take some precautionary measures to minimize the pollution in aquatic ecosystems in order to protect human health. In this chapter, the threats which cause global water pollution are discussed in detail; especially nickel has been dealt with because its toxic effects and threats have been examined by us. The Gölbaşi Lake in the Hatay province of Turkiye has been chosen as the pilot study area. The water samples were taken from different locations of the lake along with the sediments and total nickel content determined in the rhizome, petiole, and leaves of Nymphaea alba and Nuphar lutea plants, the extent of heavy metal pollution using these plants as bioindicators have been enlightened. The results have revealed that if precautionary measures are not adopted, current pollution will have serious consequences for the Gölbaşi aquatic ecosystem. It can lead to serious adverse consequences for human health. © 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. All rights reserved.en_US
