“…The found range of Cd is comparable to those found by Tuzen (2003), Akbulut and Akbulut (2010) and Ergul et al (2008) for samples from Yeşilırmak, Kızılırmak and Black Sea coast, respectively. For Pb, Cu, Zn and Mn, the obtained results are considered to be lower compared to the concentrations found by the Black Sea Coast study (Ergul et al 2008) mentioned in Table 6.…”

“…The mean amount of Pb in this study (41.31 μg/g) was almost within the amount of that reported by Ergul et al (2008) for sediments collected from Black Sea Coast. However, Tuzen (2003) and Akbulut and Akbulut (2010) reported lower values of Pb (29.60 and 30.56 μg/g, respectively). The range of Cd obtained in this study is considered higher compared to the result reported by Ergul et al (2008).…”

A BCR-sequential extraction procedure for the determination of extractable heavy metals was applied to sediments of various rivers and lakes. There are many rivers basins in Turkey. Sakarya River Basin is one of the most important basins, which consists of three parts: Upper, Middle and Lower Sakarya River Basins. In this study, the Lower Sakarya River was selected as the study area for sediments. The samples were collected monthly from 10 pre-determined stations through the river for 10 months time and analysed for the distribution of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn elements. The determination of extractable heavy metals in sediments was carried out by using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The validation of the results was performed by the analysis of a BCR 701 standard reference material.

“…The decrease of heavy metals in warm seasons and winter in maybe cause by heavy rain, snow and melting snow. Similar results are also found in Hazar Lake (KaradedeAkın, 2009), Karataş Lake (Başyiğit and TekinÖzan, 2013), Kızılırmak River Basin (Akbulut and Akbulut, 2010).…”

“…Among the analyzed metals, the highest and lowest metals were Fe and Cd. Similar results were reported in Beyler Reservoir (Fındık, 2013), Hazar Lake (Karadede-Akın, 2009), Karataş Lake (Başyiğit and Tekin-Özan, 2013), Kızılırmak River (Akbulut and Akbulut, 2010), Beyşehir Lake (Tekin-Özan, 2008). Ghaffar et al (2008), reported that Fe facilities the precipitation of other metals and found at low levels when precipitation occurs.…”

Abstract:This paper presents data on the concentrations of ten heavy metal levels in water and sediment sampled from Işıklı Lake (Turkey) as seasonally (October-2012, January-2013, April-2013, July-2013 and shows relationships between physico-chemical parameters and levels of heavy metals. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and electrical conductivity were measured. In water, Pb was below detection limit (<0.005) in all seasons, while Cu (<0.0005) was in autumn and winter. Fe had the highest level and Cd had the lowest level among the analyzed metals. Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Se reached the highest levels in summer, while Cd, Mo and Zn were in spring. Cd, Cr, Mo and Zn in autumn, Cu and Se in spring, and Fe, Mn, and Ni in winter were the lowest. Cd, Cu and Mo levels varied significantly (p<0.05) from season to season. There were positive relationships among temperature, pH value (p<0.05) and EC. Significant negative correlation (<0.01) was determined between temperature and dissolved oxygen. Significant (Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn) and non-significant (Cd, Fe, Mo, Ni and Se) positive correlations were detected between content in water and temperature. There were positive correlations between pH and dissolved oxygen, while negative correlation with EC. When the pH value increased, only Mo level decreased. Dissolved oxygen levels had a positive relationship with EC and all studied metals except Cu. There were positive relationships between EC and Cd, Cr, Mn, Mo and Zn, the others were significant negative (<0.01). In sediment, Se was below detection limit in winter, other metals were detected in all seasons. Fe was the highest while Cd was the lowest in sediment. Cd, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn reached the highest levels in spring, while Fe in winter, Cu in autumn, Pb in summer. Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn in winter, Cd and Se in autumn, Cu in summer and Fe in spring were the lowest. Cd, Cu and Mo levels varied significantly (p<0.05) from season to season.

“…The samples were taken from four different stations in February, May and August 2008. The metal concentrations in the sediment samples were sequenced as: Cr > Zn > Pb > Cu > Co > Hg > Br [36]. According to the researchers, if these water bodies are to be used as drinking water and agricultural water sources, they must be biomonitored in order to keep tabs on their heavy metal concentrations.…”

Turkey's inland water ecosystem consists of 33 rivers (177.714 miles), 200 natural lakes (906.118 ha), 159 reservoirs (342.377 ha) and 750 ponds (15.500 ha). Sedimentological studies conducted on inland water ecosystems during the last 15 years in Turkey can be categorized into two main topics. The first group of studies is concerned with heavy metal levels in sediment, with especial reference to the interaction between water, sediment and aquatic organisms. Additionally, the studies in question deal with the potential impacts of heavy metal concentrations on the ecosystem. The second group of studies is concerned with the role of eutrophication in the sediment as a result of serious contamination of inland water ecosystems. It is known that the sediment can directly influence the nutrient level in standing inland waters such as lakes and ponds by way of internal nutrient loading. In this context, studies regarding sediment, overlying water, sediment pore water and nutrient release from the sediment should be emphasized as these are important steps with respect to the eutrophication process. By keeping these studies in mind, the researcher in this study compiled and analyzed studies dealing with inland water ecosystems with differing nutrient levels and uses, including for drinking water, in Turkey's drainage basins. In addition, field and laboratory studies regarding nutrient release from sediment into Turkey's inland water ecosystems were evaluated in light of lake management practices.
