An Assessment of the Spatial Distribution of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Contamination in Turkey
Gedik, Kadir; İmamoğlu, İpek (Wiley, 2010-02-01)
This study summarizes the relevant information regarding the spatial distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in various environmental (e.g., soil, sediment, air, water) and biological (e.g., fish, mussel, adipose tissue, milk) media in Turkey. The information sources, used for this purpose, in addition to the scientific literature, were; official import records, governmental reports on monitoring of organochlorines, and reports prepared by international organizations. PCBs were never produced in Tu...
An assessment of the CO2 emissions reduction in high speed rail lines: Two case studies from Turkey
Dalkıç Melek, Gülçin; Balaban, Osman; TUYDES-YAMAN, Hediye; CELIKKOL-KOCAK, Tumay (2017-11-01)
Transportation sector is one of the major emitters of greenhouse gases due to high consumption of fossil fuels in passenger and freight transportation. In recent years, high speed rail systems (HSR) have become an important policy option for intercity transportation in many countries, including Turkey, as they have relatively low emissions impact. Currently, the total HSR network in Turkey extends to 1213 km and connects 7 cities mostly located along a main HSR corridor. Annual ridership of the first two li...
An investigation on wind energy potential and small scale wind turbine performance at Incek region - Ankara, Turkey
Bilir, Levent; İmir, Mehmet; Devrim, Yilser; Albostan, Ayhan (2015-10-01)
Renewable energy resources increased their importance in the last decades due to environmental pollution problems. Additionally, the fact that fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas will be depleted in near future encourages researchers to make investigations on alternative energy resources. Wind energy, which is one of the most used alternative resources, has a great potential. In this study, Weibull parameters at Incek region of Ankara (the capital city of Turkey), where /intim University campus ...
An investigation of agricultural use potential of wastewater sludges in Turkey with respect to heavy metals and pathogens
Özsoy, Gülçin; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006)
Landfilling is the most common method that is used in the final disposal of sludge all around the world as well as in Turkey. However increasing sludge quantities and limited landfilling areas make this method invalid. Use of sludge in agriculture presents a possible alternative for disposal. However, it also poses some risks to be evaluated. In this respect, it is important to identify heavy metal and pathogen content of sewage sludges because of their adverse health effects. This study aims to determine t...
An analysis on the utilization of energy and exergy in Turkey
Acar, Berkan; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
Today, energy has become one of the most indispensable necessities in the world. Most of the wars and the disputes between the countries have been arising because of the increasing scarcity of energy resources. Therefore, like most country, Turkey has also started to develop new energy policies for more efficient production and utilization of energy. In order to help the understanding of more efficient energy utilization, so far there have been some researches made about energy and exergy (available energy)...
