Concentrations of tin, one of the naturally methylated elements, was determined in sea water, sediments and organisms, collected from the Northeastern Mediterranean. A hydride generation technique was employed, in which the tin and methyltin, were converted to their hydrides. The hydrides produced were detected by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. On the average, the inorganic tin content of sea water samples ranged between 1.1–236 ng/1. Although the dominant methyltin species was dimethyltin, all forms of methyltins (mono, di and tri-methyltins) were detected. The sediment samples were analyzed for the acid extractable tin content and the concentrations were found to range between 0.17–2.30 ug/g (dry weight). Methyltin concentration ranged between 0.1–9.7 ng/g (dry weight). The organism (Limpet) samples were analyzed for their total tin and methyltin contents. Total tin ranged between 7.2–564 ng/g (dry weight), and the methyltins ranged between 0.5–13.9 ng/g (dry weight).

Long term impact of dissolved dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons (DDPH) in Gulf of Iskenderun Salİhog̈lu, İlkay; Saydam, Deniz; Yilmaz, Ayşen (Elsevier BV, 1987) DDPH in sea water, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) in sediment and in some marine biota were monitored for the period of August 1981 and April 1984. Maximum DDPH was measured in winter and minimum in summer. This phenomena showed an inverse relation with the sea water temperature. Increase in sea water DDPH concentration reflected itself immediately in fish liver but two months time lack between fish liver and flesh was observed. GLC analysis results of sea water extracts and various crude oil showed t...
2 toxicants, mercury and tin in the Gulf of Iskenderun Salihoğlu, Barış; Yemeni̇ci̇og̈lu, Semal (Elsevier BV, 1987) The concentrations of total mercury and tin in the sediment samples collected from İskenderun bay were determined by utilizing atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Mercury concentration of the samples was determined by cold vapor, and tin concentration by hydride generation techniques. The highest mercury concentrations were measured infront of İSDEMİR (Iron and stell complex) with a value of 550 μg/g (dry weight). The mercury concentrations were found to decrease with distance from the shore. Sediment samp...
Enrichment of metals in the surface sediments of Sapanca Lake Bakan, G; Balkas, TI (Wiley, 1999-01-01) A comprehensive lake sediment study was performed on the Sapanca Lake of Turkey in which certain metal analyses were conducted using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The purpose of the study was to find the enrichment of metals in the surface sediments of Sapanca Lake. A method, namely, the index of geoaccumulation, was used to define the degree of anthropogenic pollution in the Sapanca Lake basin. Results of the geoaccumulation index indicate that only enrichments of trace metals, c...
Reduction of volatile halocarbons in anoxic seawater, results from a study in the Black Sea Tanhua, T; Fogelqvist, E; Basturk, O (Elsevier BV, 1996-09-01) The Black Sea is characterised by an oxic surface water layer and anoxic deep water rich in both hydrogen sulphide and methane, and in between a suboxic zone with very low concentrations of both oxygen and hydrogen sulphide. This makes the Black Sea a useful site for the study of oxidation-reduction reactions in seawater. In this study, the distributions of tetrachloromethane, trichloromethane, 1,1,1,-trichloroethane, dibromomethane, dibromochloromethane and bromodichloromethane across the oxic-anoxic inter...
Comparison of TOC concentrations by persulphate UV and high temperature catalytic oxidation techniques in the Marmara and Black Seas Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01) Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations were determined in the Marmara Sea and both oxic and anoxic waters of the Black Sea, using the Shimadzu high-temperature catalytic oxidation technique and the Technicon persulphate-UV oxidation method. The TOC values in the deep waters of the Marmara Sea ranged between 60 and 73 μ MC by the Shimadzu technique and from 40 to 50 μMC by the Technicon method. The TOC values obtained by both methods in the deep anoxic waters of the Black Sea varied between 105 and 130 μM...
