| heavy metal contents of the karasu creek sediments, nigde, turkey. | heavy metal contamination in sediments of the karasu spring was investigated in the presented study. in this respect, sediment samples were collected from contaminant sites along the spring starting from the spring water manifestation site, base of the akkaya dam to the dam exit site. heavy metal concentrations were determined by x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. cobalt, copper, arsenic, tin, nickel, zinc, cadmium, lead, aluminum, iron, titan, chromium and manganese contents of the karasu creek s ... | 2007 | 17057990 |
| distribution and accumulation of heavy metals in the sediments of akkaya dam, nigde, turkey. | twenty-one surface sediment samples were collected from akkaya dam. heavy metal concentrations (mo, cu, pb, zn, ni, co, mn, fe, cr, as, v and cd), grain size, organic carbon and carbonate contents were studied in order to assess the extent of environmental pollution and to discuss the origin of these contaminants in sediments of dam. the sediments in the study area are mostly very fine sands. however, mud was observed in the northeast of the dam. sediment pollution assessment was carried out usi ... | 2011 | 21409359 |
| heavy metal contents and the water quality of karasu creek in nigde, turkey. | different sources of pollution in karasu creek were investigated to obtain the water quality and ratio of contamination in this region. to achieve the main objectives of the present study, water samples were collected from karasu creek, starting from flow pattern at the upstream site of akkaya dam to the end of the dam, crossing the place where the creek drains into. dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, temperature and maximum/minimum ph were measured systematically for 12 months in the st ... | 2008 | 17525832 |
