In this study, source regions of atmospheric sulfate and nitrate in rural areas at the Black Sea and the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey are compared. Stations on the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea are located at Amasra and Antalya regions, respectively. Source regions of SO42- and NO3- are determined by using potential source contribution function (PSCF). Statistical significance of source regions assigned by PSCF were assured using bootstrapping with 3000 iterations. Source regions affecting sulfate and nitrate concentrations at the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions have some similarities and differences. Emissions from source regions in Russia and Balkan countries affect both the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins.

Comparison of sources affecting chemical compositions of aerosol and rainwater at different locations in Turkey Türküm, Ahmet; PEKEY, BEYHAN; PEKEY, HAKAN; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2008-09-01) In this study, concentrations of elements and ions were measured in atmospheric aerosol and rainwater samples collected at two rural stations on the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts of Turkey. The relationship between chemical compositions of atmospheric aerosol and rainwater was investigated using receptor-oriented methods utilizing long-term data collected at the Antalya and Amasra stations in Turkey. Factor analysis performed on aerosol and rainwater data sets yielded that source types affecting chemic...
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....

A review of plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems of Turkey Çevik, Cem ; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan ; Kankılıç, Gökben Başaran ; Gündoğdu, Sedat (2021-12-01) Turkey is one of the major plastic pollution sources in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. This review summarizes present information, data, and legislation on plastic pollution in Turkish aquatic ecosystems. According to results derived from reviewed studies, both macro- and microplastic pollutions were documented in Turkish aquatic ecosystems. Most of the studies on plastic pollution in Turkish waters were performed in the marine environment while only four were conducted in freshwater environments. Spa...
Relative body condition of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) and its applicability as an indicator of environmental status Gücü, Ali Cemal; Ünlüoğlu, Aydın; Ok, Meltem; Karakulak, Firdes Saadet; Aydin, Coskun Menderes; Sarigoz, Suleyman; Beken, Sevcan Colpan Polat (2021-06-01) This study examines the ratio between length and body weight of 4191 specimens of a prevalent, tertiary tropic level Teleost fish, red mullet (Mullus barbatus) sampled using a standard survey protocol from more than 2500 km by the coasts of Turkey extending along the Mediterranean, Aegean, and the Black Sea. The study's primary aim was to investigate whether there is a correspondence between the body condition of the red mullet and the environmental status independently determined based on lower trophic lev...
