Development of a fate and transport model for biodegradation of PBDE congeners in sediments Karakas, Filiz; Aksoy, Ayşegül; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-01) Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a family where each congener possesses different physicochemical properties, persistence and/or toxicity. Biodegradation can selectively change the abundance of congeners. These w...
Development of a radioecological model for accidental release of radionuclides Unver, O.; Kocar, C.; Tuncel, G. (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2020-10-01) A dynamic radioecological model was developed to estimate radiation doses and stochastic health risks due to atmospheric releases in case of a nuclear reactor accident. Activities in some foodstuffs, feedstuffs and grass, ...
Pollution characteristics, mechanism of toxicity and health effects of the ultrafine particles in the indoor environment: Current status and future perspectives Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Lin, Siyi; Yousaf, Balal; Abbas, Qumber; Munir, Mehr Ahmed Mujtaba; Rashid, Audil; Zheng, Chunmiao; Kuang, Xingxing; Wong, Ming Hung (Informa UK Limited, 2020-10-01) Ultrafine particles (UFPs) with an aerodynamic diameter of <0.1 mu m are emerging as the most dominant and abundant particulate matter. Human exposure to these particles has increased dramatically, especially in the indoor...
Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis for a radioecological model Unver, O.; Kocar, C.; Tuncel, G. (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2020-10-01) Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis were conducted for a radioecological model which was developed and applied for severe accident scenario for Akkuyu NPP in Turkey. Uncertainty was investigated in the doses and activity ...
A strategy for the implementation of water-quality-based discharge limits for the regulation of hazardous substances GÜRSOY HAKSEVENLER, BETÜL HANDE; Atasoy-Aytis, Elif; Dilaver, Mehmet; YALÇINKAYA, SEDAT; Findik-Cinar, Nur; KÜÇÜK, ELİF; PİLEVNELİ, TOLGA; Koc-Orhon, Aybala; Siltu, Esra; Gucver, Sibel Mine; Karaaslan, Yakup; Yetiş, Ülkü (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01) Many developing countries apply technology-based discharge standards that set quantitative limits on pollutant discharges. These standards do not inherently consider ambient constraints and, therefore, cannot guarantee to ...
Performance of ozone and peroxone on the removal of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) coupled with cost analysis Ölmez Hancı, Tuğba; Dogruel, S.; Emek, A. D. Allar; Yilmazer, C. Eropak; Cinar, S.; Kiraz, O.; Citil, E.; Orhon, A. Koc; Siltu, E.; Gucver, S. M.; Ozgun, O. Karahan; Tanık, Ayşe Gül; Yetiş, Ülkü (IWA Publishing, 2020-08-01) Micropollutants such as endocrine disruptors are one of the most important groups of chemicals polluting water resources. Conventional treatment systems may not be effective for the removal of endocrine disrupting chemical...
Integrated solid waste management strategy of a large campus: A comprehensive study on METU campus, Turkey Bahcelioglu, Ecem; Bugdayci, E. Selin; Dogan, Nazli B.; Simsek, Naz; Kaya, Sinan O.; Alp, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) A significant amount of solid waste generation from various streams become inevitable for large campuses due to their large population and variety of activities taking place on the campus. Therefore, it is a challenge to d...
Microbially mediated kinetic sulfur isotope fractionation: reactive transport modeling benchmark Cheng, Yiwei; Arora, Bhavna; Şengör, Sema Sevinç; Druhan, Jennifer L.; Wanner, Christoph; van Breukelen, Boris M.; Steefel, Carl (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) Microbially mediated sulfate reduction is a ubiquitous process in many subsurface systems. Isotopic fractionation is characteristic of this anaerobic process, since sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) favor the reduction of th...
