Heavy Metal Content of Total Suspended Air Particles in the Heavily Industrialized Town of Gebze, Turkey. Ergenekon, P. & Ulutas, K. BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY, 92(1):90-95, 2014. abstract bibtex Air pollution is a serious environmental problem in industrialized
towns, where a significant portion of the residents live in close
proximity to factories and major highways with high traffic load. In
this study, the ambient air quality in Gebze, an industrial region with
an area of 438 km(2) and a population of 300,000, was characterized in
terms for total suspended particulate matter and its composition of
trace elements, i.e. Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb. Samples were
collected using high volume samplers from March to June 2009 at two
sites during the day and the night. A significantly higher Cu
concentrations during night suggested that Cu emissions were the result
of a local source. The known air toxics, Cd and Ni, had average
concentrations (34 and 43 ng/m(3), respectively) higher than proposed by
the European Union's ambient air quality standards. These results
highlight the potential health risks for the local population.
