Volatile and semi volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) are regarding as serious environmental pollutants owign to causing a lot of diseases around the world. The VOCs and SVOCs can be accumulated in both indoor and outdoor areas. Photocatalytic technology has been applied over the last decades in order to purify air and water under solar or artificial lights. To overcome the issues of classical TiO2 photocatalysis, the scientific community has done a lot of research on the engineering of photocatalytic materials with smart and multifunctional properties to fit with the large scale application. Condutive polymers (CPs), such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), and polythiophene (PTh), have proven to be an outstanding materials as compared to inorganic semiconductors towards the photocatalytic removal of VOCs and SVOCs. Such a class of photoactive materials including large solar absorption, excellent charges separation, effective redox potential, good conductivity, eco-friendly and so on. This review aims to discuss the recent progress on the development of CPs and their combination with inorganic oxide semiconductors for synergetic effects toward the photocatalytic oxidation VOCs & SVOCs. For the purpose of comparison, main routes to remove VOCs and SVOCs using existing technologies were discussed in the first section. Photocatalytic mechanistic pathways using pristine CPs and CPs@metal oxide composites were critically discussed. Future prospects with appropriate scientific recommendations/suggestions are provided at the end of the review in order to bridge the fundamental research in the field with real-world application.

Ambient VOC concentrations in the city of Balikesir and its environment Yalçın, Giyasettin Efdal; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2013) The assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an important field of interest in atmospheric pollution. This study quantifies and characterizes the ambient levels and spatial distribution of VOCs in urban and rural areas of Balıkesir. In addition, for the city drinking water dam excess flux from the traffic estimation was done. For these assessments passive sampling of VOCs performed at approximately 50 locations in and around the city of Balıkesir and analyzed with GC-FID system. Tenax TA w...
Temporal variation of volatile organic compound concentrations in Bursa atmosphere Yurdakul, Sema; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014) Volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) attracted attention as air pollutants due to their health effects, particularly with their potential to induce cancer. The levels and sources of VOCs in Bursa atmosphere, which is one of the most heavily industrialize cities in Turkey, were investigated by measuring C2 – C12 VOCs in two campaigns. Concentrations of 148 VOCs were measured with 60 minute intervals using an on-line gas chromatograph. Data generated in this study is the first extensive and high-resolution data...
Construction of amperometric biosensor modified with conducting polymer/carbon dots for the analysis of catechol Yasa, Mustafa; Deniz, Aybuke; Forough, Mehrdad; Yildirim, Erol; Persil Çetinkol, Özgül; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2020-10-21) Phenolic compounds used in food industries and pesticide industry, are environmentally toxic and pollute the rivers and ground water. For that reason, detection of phenolic compounds such as catechol by using simple, efficient and cost‐effective devices have been becoming increasingly popular. In this study, a suitable and a novel matrix was composed using a novel conjugated polymer, namely poly[1‐(5‐(4,8‐bis(5‐(2‐ethylhexyl)thiophen‐2‐yl)benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b']dithiophen‐2‐yl)furan‐2‐yl)‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyl)‐3‐(fu...
Spatial distribution of organic pollutants in Bursa atmosphere : seasonality and health effects Yılmaz Civan, Mihriban; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2010) The assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an area of particular interest in the field of atmospheric pollution due to their adverse health and environmental effects. This study is aimed to identify, quantify and characterize VOC in different urban areas and industrial areas in Bursa. The spatial distribution, seasonal variation as well as health risks assessment of VOC were discussed. Air samples were collected by means of sorbent passive sampling at over 50 sampling points in Bursa and...
Source Identification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Particulate Matters in an Urban and Industrial Areas of Turkey PEKEY, BEYHAN; PEKEY, HAKAN; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Arslanbaşı, Demet; BOZKURT, ZEHRA (2015-06-01) Elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matters have been observed in recent years in Kocaeli, Turkey, despite improvements in pollution prevention technology that have led to a reduction in gas and particulate emissions. Local authorities should devise alternative strategies to reduce the possible health effects of a variety of pollutants that affect air quality. The objective of this study was to identify potential sources of VOCs, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse pa...
