Accumulation of DNAPL waste in subsurface clayey lenses and layers
(Elsevier, 2020)
Chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) are prevalent groundwater contaminants being detected more than half of the Superfund Sites. They are introduced into the subsurface due to ...
Anodic Oxidation of Effluents from Stages of MBR-UF Municipal Landfill Leachate Treatment Plant
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2020)
This study used boron-doped diamond electrode on niobium substrate (Nb/boron-doped diamond [BDD]) for the anodic oxidation of landfill leachate in a batch reactor. Raw leachate and biologically pretreated effluent samples ...
Assessment of groundwater contamination risk with scenario analysis of hazard quantification for a karst aquifer in Antalya, Turkey
(Springer, 2020)
Karst aquifers usually have high vulnerability to groundwater pollution. This study aims to assess the risk of groundwater contamination in karst aquifers by two index overlay methods of intrinsic vulnerability (COP and ...
Links between airborne microbiome, meteorology, and chemical composition in northwestern Turkey
(Elsevier, 2020)
The composition of atmospheric aerosols is dynamic and influenced by their emission sources, organic and inorganic composition, transport pathways, chemical and physical processes, microorganisms' content and more. ...
First insight into polybrominated diphenyl ethers in car dust in Turkey: concentrations and human exposure implications
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020)
The presence of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the car is due to their use as a flame retardant additive in various car components such as dashboard, plastic parts, seat and headliner cushion foams, insulated ...
Anaerobic/aerobic cycle effect on di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and pentachlorophenol removal from real textile wastewater in sequencing batch biofilm reactor
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020)
This study aims to investigate the treatability of pentachlorophenol encountered in cotton textile plants and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate used in synthetic textile production. They were selected as model micropollutants. ...
Peroxydisulfate activation by in-situ synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles for degradation of atrazine: Performance and mechanism
(Elsevier, 2020)
Herein activation of persoxydisulfate (PDS) was achieved by in-situ synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) from a sacrificial iron anode in an electrochemical (EC) cell. The as-synthesized Fe3O4 NPs were characterized to ...
Passive sampler derived polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in indoor and outdoor air in Bursa, Turkey: Levels and an assessment of human exposure via inhalation
(Turkish Natl Committee Air Pollution Res & Control-Tuncap, 2020)
Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned several years ago, they can still be measured in the environment, especially in indoors, where their concentrations tend to be higher than outdoors in some cases. The ...
Pine needle and semi-permeable membrane device derived organochlorine compounds (OCPs) concentrations in air in Mersin Province to Taurus, Turkey
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in three different ages (half-, 1.5-, 2.5-year-old) for needles and semi permeable membrane devices (SPMDs) at three deployment periods from sea level to 1881 meter above sea ...
Electrochemical treatment of sunflower oil refinery wastewater and optimization of the parameters using response surface methodology
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020)
Combined electrocoagulation (EC) + electrooxidation (EO) process was compared with electrochemical peroxidation (ECP) treatment process to treat sunflower oil refinery wastewater. The effect of applied current density, ...
