Twenty six trace elements were determined by INAA in the aerosol samples collected at two stations in Ankara, Turkey. Industrially derived elements, Se, As, Sb, Zn and Au did not show seasonal dependence and they were not substantially enriched. Elements originating from coal combustion are highly enriched and have higher concentrations in the winter. Correlation factors indicate that motor vehicles, coal and oil combustion are the main sources of aerosols over the city.

Atmospheric trace element concentrations over the eastern Mediterranean Sea: Factors affecting temporal variability GÜLLÜ, GÜLEN; Olmez, I; Aygun, S; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (1998-09-20) Concentrations of elements and ions were measured in aerosol samples collected between March 1992 and December 1993 at a rural station on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Concentrations of pollution-derived elements are lower than corresponding concentrations reported for the western Mediterranean region, due to the longer distances traveled by the particles to reach the eastern Mediterranean region. Concentrations of elements vary on timescales ranging from days to seasons. Short-term variations in the c...
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN COMPOSITIONS OF EASTERN AND WESTERN BLACK SEA AEROSOL Balcılar, İlker; ZARARSIZ, ABDULLAH; KALAYCI, YAKUP; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2017-01-01) In this study daily aerosol samples were collected at two different sampling stations at the Black Sea Region of Turkey. Western Black Sea sampling station is located at the Bulgarian border of Turkey and approximately 50 km from the Black Sea coast. The station on the Eastern Black Sea is located at a high altitude site which is approximately 75 km from the Black Sea coast. Both stations are situated at relatively remote rural locations. Nearest large settlement area is at least 50 km away from both sites....
Atmospheric trace elements in Ankara Turkey 1 factors affecting chemical composition of fine particles Mustafa, Yatin; TUNCEL, SEMRA; Namik K, Aras; Ilhan, Olmez; Sezer, Aygun; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2000-01-01) Fine and coarse aerosol samples were collected between February and June 1993, in Ankara, Turkey using a stack filter unit (SFU). Collected samples were analyzed for approximately 40 trace elements and major ions using a combination of instrumental neutron activation analysis, atomic absorption spectromerty and ion chromatography. Particle sizing characteristics of the SFU was tested against dichotomous sampler and the sampler was found to be a good alternative for more expensive particle sizing devices. Fo...
Atmospheric nutrient inputs to the northern levantine basin from a long-term observation: sources and comparison with riverine inputs Koçak, Mustafa; TUĞRUL, SÜLEYMAN; Mihalopoulos, N (2010-01-01) Aerosol and rainwater samples have been collected at a rural site located on the coastline of the Eastern Mediterranean, Erdemli, Turkey between January 1999 and December 2007. Riverine sampling was carried out at five Rivers (Ceyhan, Seyhan, Goksu, Berdan and Lamas) draining into the Northeastern Levantine Basin (NLB) between March 2002 and July 2007. Samples have been analyzed for macronutrients of phosphate, silicate, nitrate and ammonium (PO43-, Sidiss, NO3- and NH4+). Phosphate and silicate in aerosol ...
Trace metal solid state speciation in aerosols of the Northern Levantine basin, East Mediterranean Koçak, Mustafa; Herut, Barak; Nimmo, Malcolm (2007-04-01) An established three stage sequential leach scheme was applied to a series of selected high volume aerosol samples (n = Ce35) collected from the Turkish Eastern Mediterranean coastline (Erdemli). Samples were selected according to their air mass back trajectory history to reflect the contrasting mixtures of aerosol material present in the Eastern Mediterranean marine aerosol. Two populations were adopted, those samples which were classed as "anthropogenic" and those which were "Saharan" dominated aerosol po...
