Abstract

The phenol and its derivatives are widely available in the environment. The phenol index is considered an important indicator of water purity and quality. Presence of phenols in aquatic environments is also related to petrochemical, agricultural, industrial and municipal wastewater in the environment. It is a variable that should be monitored because it causes bioaccumulation and toxicity in the entire living chain extending to humans, especially the aquatic ecosystem where it pollutes. In this study, it was aimed to define and quantify the total phenol concentration in Aksu Stream according to seasonal periods.For this purpose, phenol concentrations of surface water samples collected from three different points by seasonal sampling from Aksu Stream were investigated. The total phenol concentrations of water samples were reported between 0.069 and 1.125 mg/L. In addition, it was noted that there was no significant difference in phenol accumulation according to the stations (p>0.05), and that the spring with summer and autumn with winter seasons clustered. As a result, it was determined that the phenol pollution in Aksu Stream surface water samples showed an increasing trend compared to the concentrations detected in the past years.

Özet

Fenol ve türevleri çevrede yaygın olarak bulunmakla birlikte, su kalitesinin de önemli bir göstergesi olarak kabul edilir. Sucul ortamlarda fenollerin varlığı aynı zamanda ortamdaki petrokimya, zirai, endüstriyel ve belediye atık sularıyla da ilgilidir. Fenol başta kirlilik oluşturduğu sucul ekosistemler olmak üzere, insana kadar uzanan tüm besin zincirinde biyobirikim ve toksisiteye neden olduğundan, izlenmesi gereken bir değişkendir. Bu çalışmada, Aksu Deresi’ndeki toplam fenol miktarı konsantrasyonunun mevsimsel dönemlere göre tanımlanması ve nicelleştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaç için Aksu Deresinden mevsimsel örnekleme ile üç farklı noktadan toplanan yüzey suyu örneklerinin fenol konsantrasyonları araştırılmıştır. Su örneklerinin toplam fenol konsantrasyonları 0,069 ile 1,125 mg/L arasında rapor edilmiştir. Ayrıca, istasyonlara göre fenol birikiminde anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamadığı (p>0,05), ilkbahar ile yaz ve sonbahar ile kış mevsimlerinin kümeleştiği kayıt edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Aksu Deresi yüzey suyu örneklerindeki fenol kirliliğinin, geçmiş yıllarda tespit edilen konsantrasyonlara göre yükseliş eğilimi göstermesinin dikkate değer düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
