“…Therefore, a better understanding of physico-chemical properties like pH, conductivity, alkalinity, salinity, hardness, Chemical Oxygen Demand (C.O.D) etc. in the water bodies seem to be particularly important issues of present day research on pollution assessments [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. According to one study it was estimated that Mumbai city of India itself discharges around 2200 MLD of waste to the coastal waters [33].…”

The present study was performed for the period of one year from January 2013 to December 2013 in order to understand the physico-chemical properties of Mahul Creek water. From the results of our study it was observed that the annual average COD level was 362.09 ppm which was far higher than the maximum tolerable level of 250 ppm set for inland surface water as well as for marine coastal water. The annual average conductivity was found to be 6122.81 µS cm -1 which was very much above the conductivity limit for inland surface water of 1000 µS cm -1 set by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for propagation of fisheries. The annual average total alkalinity level was recorded as 166.25 ppm, which according to the UN Department of Technical Cooperation for Development (1985) was found to be strongly alkaline. The annual average hardness level of the creek water was found to be 2488.65 ppm which was above the limit of 300 ppm set by ISI. From the results of the present investigation it seems that the time has come to implement proper effluent water treatment techniques and enforcement of pollution control by the regulatory authority on the indiscriminate discharge of industrial wastewater into water bodies.

“…Sucul ortamlarda ağır metaller ve eser elementler çevresel ortamlardaki kalıcılıkları, biyojeokimyasal geri dönüşümleri ve ekolojik etkileri nedeniyle ölçülmesi ve izlenmesi gereken parametrelerdir. Yüzeysel sularda ve sediment tabakasındaki As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Se, Pb, Ni gibi bazı elementler çok düşük konsantrasyonlarda bile toksik etkilere sahip olabilmekte ve ekosistem için potansiyel bir tehdit oluşturabilmektedir [1,2]. Ayrıca, bu elementler kolayca besin zincirine katılarak doğada bulunan canlıların bünyelerinde birikmeleri nedeniyle diğer kimyasal kirleticiler içerisinde ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır [3].…”

Öz Türkiye'nin güneybatısında yer alan büyük göllerimizden biri konumundaki Bafa Gölünden Nisan 2018 döneminde 10 noktadan yüzeysel su örnekleri toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerde ICP-MS (Endüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma-Kütle Spektrometresi) cihazı kullanılarak ağır metal ve eser element ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ölçüm sonucunda elde edilen değerler farklı kategorilerdeki su kalitesi sınıflama ve sınır değerleri ile karşılaştırılarak göl suyu kalitesi incelenmiştir. Doğal kaynaklı elementlerden Na, Mg, K ve Ca değerleri sırasıyla en yüksek konsantrasyonlarda ölçülürken, toksik ya da tehlikeli olabilen ağır metallerden As ve Zn sırasıyla 15,3 ve 51,2 µg/L olarak ölçülmüştür. Element konsantrasyonlarının istatistiksel dağılım parametrelerinden çarpıklık ve basıklık, Sn, P, Ni, Pb, As, Cd, Tl, Co, Mo ve Cu elementlerinin antropojenik kaynaklı olabileceğini göstermiştir. Su Kirliliği Kontrolü Yönetmeliği ve Yerüstü Su Kalitesi Yönetmeliği kapsamında verilen sınıflama ölçütleri dikkate alındığında göl suyunun Na ve P parametreler dışında 1. Sınıf sular kapsamına dâhil olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca hayvansal ve tarımsal amaçlı kullanılan suların taşıması gereken kalite ölçütleri ile de karşılaştırılan değerler uygun bulunmuştur.

“…This can allow conclusions to be drawn regarding sources of contamination. Since sediments act as a sinks and sources of contaminants in aquatic systems, chemical analysis for characterization of sediments also provides environmentally significant information about natural and anthropogenic influence on the water bodies [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The present study was therefore carried out to understand the physico-chemical properties of the sediment samples collected along the Mahul Creek of Mumbai.…”

The present study was performed for the period of one year from January 2013 to December 2013 in order to understand the physico-chemical properties of sediments samples collected along the Mahul Creek of Mumbai. The annual average pH value of the creek sediments was recorded as 5.38. It is feared that such low pH value of sediment might increase the acidity of creek water thereby triggering the heavy metal toxicity which will further reduced survivorship in fish through chronic stress and affect the reproductive partner. The annual average salinity content of the sediment was recorded as 4601.17 ppm. It is important here to note that the high salinity of the sediment may increase the salinity level of creek water which is considered as a major stress factor for most freshwater organisms including crustaceans. The average annual concentration of phosphate in the creek sediment was found to 480.39 ppm. Such high concentration of phosphate in the creek sediments might accelerate the process of eutrophication. From the results it appears that as India moves towards stricter regulation of industrial effluents to control water pollution, greater efforts are required to reduce the risk due to the toxic pollutants which are released into the ecosystems.
