Sanitary landfill is a widely used waste disposal method worldwide due to its safe and economic. The most important issue in this storage method is the process of selecting the landfill. This process is one of the critical issues in the urban planning process due to its enormous impact on the region's economy, ecology, and environmental health. At the same time, it is also a great importance for public health. Urban growth is a phenomenon that is difficult to stop or limit in line with economic dynamics and demographic changes. For this reason, site selection in solid waste sanitary landfill is a great importance in terms of ensuring a sustainable urban future. The site selection in sanitary landfill is made conventionally taking into account environmental, social and economic criteria. In this study, the waste disposal facility, which was built according to the mentioned criteria and still in operation, was evaluated in the context of urban growth. In this context, Landsat TM 1989 satellite image for the determination of urban boundaries of the central settlement area of Sanliurfa before the irrigation of the GAP project, and Sentinel-2 satellite image enrichment to determine the urban development boundaries after irrigation was mapped by Screen digitizing. Its spatial evaluation and mapping were performed utilizing ArcGIS software.
Dental fluorosis cases are observed due to the high consumption of high fluoride drinking water in some parts of Anatolia. Fluorosis is resulted from high concentrations of fluoride in groundwater and observed in some regions of Turkey having volcanic rocks and geothermal fields. Results of fluoride analyses showed that the concentrations in groundwater samples were above the admissible limit values for potable water (>1.5 mg/L). Objectives of this work are; to study the high fluoride in groundwater of Sarım-Karataş region, its health effects and to examine its removal efficiency from groundwater by electrocoagulation (EC). EC process including the electrodes, reactor and the power source successfully removed the fluoride from groundwater sample. F removal rate was found as ~96% at the end of 3 hour.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
