“…The present study reports the trace toxic minerals pollution in the samples collected from the Istanbul old city (Cankurtaran) coastline in the summer of 2016. Similarly, in 2014, Ozyigit et al studied trace toxic mineral contents of sea lettuce samples collected from different parts of Istanbul including Istanbul old city coast (Cankurtaran) station, Büyükada, Fenerbahçe, Maltepe, Bakırköy and Beylikdüzü stations (Ozyigit et. al., 2017).…”

Concentrations of Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Arsenic (As), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) were determined in the macro algae sea lettuce (Ulva spp.), sampled from the coastline of Istanbul old city (Cankurtaran) in summer 2016. The abundance of trace toxic mineral concentrations in sea lettuce were in the following order: Fe > Zn > As > Cu> Ni >Pb> Cd. However, mercury was not detected in any sample. The present study provides a new information to the consumer on the distribution of trace toxic minerals in sea lettuce.

“…Ulva Lactuca (U. Lactuca), also known as "sea lettuce," is an edible macroalgae species. U. Lactuca macroalgae acts as a high nutrient reservoir for other harmful species, providing a basis for the increase of toxic species and leading to the deterioration of the marine ecosystem (Ozyigit et al, 2017;Tang & Gobler, 2011). This species, which grows in large quantities, can also cause disadvantages in human life by accumulating on beaches, seashores, canals and stream mouths and creating physical di culties (Zingone et al, 2021).…”

Facing the daunting challenge of climate change, driven by escalating greenhouse gas concentrations, our research introduces an innovative solution for CO2 capture. We explore a novel nanoporous carbon derived from Ulva Lactuca, activated with eggshell waste, spotlighting waste valorization in mitigating atmospheric CO2. Through a systematic methodology encompassing variable carbonization temperatures (700–900°C) and nitrogen flow rates (2–4 ml/min), complemented by a suite of characterization techniques, we unveil the synthesis of this pioneering adsorbent. Our study not only presents a novel, sustainable pathway for CO2 capture but also demonstrates superior performance, particularly with the NC800-4 sample, achieving a CO2 capture capacity of 1.40 mmol/g at 30°C, alongside demonstrating consistent adsorption efficiency over four successive adsorption/desorption cycles. This breakthrough underscores the potential of leveraging waste for environmental remediation, offering a dual solution to waste management and CCUS applications.

“…Macroalgae and seagrasses are used as biomonitors of metal pollution in many continents, although it is more difficult to assess the amounts of trace elements accumulated in the latter because of their capacity to incorporate elements from both the sediments and the water column (Phillips 1990;Villares et al 2005). Biomonitoring of metals using macroalgae has been reported in many geographic regions including the Sarawak Malaysia (Billah et al 2017), Egyptian Mediterranean coast (El-Din et al 2014), Aegean coast (Akcali and Kucuksezgin 2011;Sawidis 2001), Indian coast (Chakraborty et al 2014), Australia (Melville & Pulkownik 2007) Tyrrhenian coastal areas (Conti and Cecchetti 2003), Aughinish Bay, Ireland (Reis et al 2016), Polish coast (Rajfur and Kłos 2014;Ozyigit et al 2017), Malaysian coast (Mashitah et al 2012), and Sudanese Red Sea coast (Ali et al 2017).…”

Assessment of trace metal in macroalgae and sediment of the Sundarban mangrove estuary

et al. 2020

This study was carried out to assess the levels of trace metals (Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu) in the macroalgae and sediment of the Sundarban mangrove estuary in Bangladesh. In this connection, macroalgae, water and sediment samples were collected seasonally (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon) for a year from the study area. The surface water of the estuary was found to be quite rich in NO 3 , PO 4 and NH 4 , which is more than that of the sediment pore water. Trace elements were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The amount of trace metals in the samples were found in the order of Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu. Enrichment factor was done for trace metals in sediment and showed non-crustal origin of Zn and Cu in the monsoon period. Analysis of variance revealed the seasonal variation of trace metal concentration in sediment (except Mn; p > 0.05) and macroalgae (except Zn; p > 0.05). Iron in sediment showed significant positive correlation both with Fe (r = 0.84, p < 0.05) and Mn (r = 0.87, p < 0.01) in macroalgae. Similarly, Cu in sediment demonstrated a significant positive correlation with Cu in macroalgae (r = 0.81, p < 0.01). The findings reveal a significant communication of metals in sediment and macroalgae.
