Clean air is considered to be a basic requirement for human health and their well- being. Air pollution has become an alarming problem with industrialization, and protection of air quality turned into a topic of great interest since early 1960’s. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in 1992 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, adopted the Framework Climate Convention (Agenda 21) which underlined the need of air pollution control. Also, the declaration of Habitat II (United Nations Conference on Human Settlements held in June 1996, at Istanbul, Turkey) emphasized the “sustainable development” and “sustainable human settlements” for the protection of environment. In sustainable human settlements clean air was one of the most important considerations put forward among the other environmental issues.

Modelling of nitrogen removal in Ankara wastewater treatment plant Kim, Eun-Ah; Gökçay, Celal F.; Department of Environmental Engineering (2002) Nowadays environmental legislations in many countries have all imposed strict effluent quality standards for carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous for wastewater treatment plants. This in turn caused complicated design, operation and control of biological treatment systems. As a result, computer programs based on complex mathematical models are now developed for the simulation of such complicated systems. The influent wastewater characterization based on COD and Nitrogen fractionation became very important in de...
Identification and Elucidation of the Designing and Operational Issues of Trickling Filter Systems for Wastewater Treatment Ali, Imran; Khan, Zahid M.; Peng, Changsheng; Naz, Iffat; Sultan, Muhammad; Ali, Mohsin; Mahmood, Muhammad H.; Niaz, Yasir (2017-01-01) Water pollution has become a major environmental concern for public and environmental health in developing countries. Water resources are being contaminated mainly due to mixing of domestic, municipal, and industrial wastewaters. The wastewater management and treatment situation is deplorable mainly because of financial constraints, the unavailability of technically trained human resources, and electricity shortages. Moreover, there is a challenge for the scientific community and wastewater management exper...
Determination of the optimum loading strategies for monochloro-, trichloro-, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acids to anaerobic cultures GÜVEN, ENGİN; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2000-01-01) With respect to their adverse health and environmental effects, halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) are among the most important priority pollutants. HOCs cannot be easily biodegraded. However. if suitable microbial cultures are acclimated to these compounds properly, and the optimum operating conditions are achieved, HOCs can be removed with biological methods. Recently, great interest has focused on reductive anaerobic dehalogenation for the removal of these compounds. This process yields lower halogenat...
Evaluation of floor-wise pollution status and deposition behavior of potentially toxic elements and nanoparticles in air conditioner dust during urbanistic development Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Ullah, Habib; Irshad, Samina; Ahmed, Rafay; Hussain, Mudassar; Rashid, Audil (2019-03-01) The study was undertaken to investigate deposition behaviors of various size-segregated particles and indoor air quality using dust accumulated on the air conditioner filter acting as a sink for PTEs and nanoparticles that can pose a significant health risk. However, the particulate matter size and chemical composition in AC dust and its relationship with PTEs remains uncertain. Current study aims to investigate the PTEs and nanoparticles composition of AC dust using different analytical approaches includin...
Modeling off a large-scale wastewater treatment plant for efficient operation Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Sin, Gürkan (2004-01-01) Environmental legislations in the Western world impose stringent effluent quality standards for ultimate protection of the environment. This is also observed in Turkey. The current paper presents efforts made to simulate an existing 0.77 million m(3)/day conventional activated sludge plant located at Ankara, AWTP. The ASM1 model was used for simulation in this study. The model contains numerous stoichiometric and kinetic parameters, some of which need to be determined on case by case bases. The easily degra...
