Abstract

Water-based studies have come into prominence for illegal substance monitoring. There are limited studies on the detection of these substances in the surface waters as opposed to wastewater. This study aims to evaluate amphetamine, benzoylecgonine, cocaine, codeine, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, morphine, and 11-nor-Δ9- tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid in the Küçük Menderes (KM) River at four different stations during three different periods and assess the environmental risks. Environmental risk assessment of psychoactive substances based on the calculation of Risk Quotients (RQ) were evaluated. RQ values for amphetamine and benzoylecgonine were < 0.01 at all sampling points during all sampling periods, indicating little risk for aquatic life. Cocaine was found as environmentally high risk (RQ > 1) based on its RQ values of 1.22 and 1.37 at KM-01 and KM-02 sampling points. This research is the first report to investigate the presence of psychoactive substances and define the environmental risks of these substances in Türkiye.

爱琴海地区重要盆地 Küçük Menderes 河的非法物质分析与环境风险评估。

以水为基础的研究在非法物质监测方面的作用日益突出。与废水相比，在地表水中检测这些物质的研究十分有限。本研究旨在评估 Küçük Menderes (KM) 河四个不同站点在三个不同时期的安非他明、苯甲酰可待因、可卡因、可待因、3,4-亚甲二氧基-N-甲基安非他明、吗啡和 11-去甲-Δ9-四氢大麻酚-9-羧酸的含量，并评估其环境风险。根据风险商数（RQ）的计算方法，对精神活性物质的环境风险评估进行了评价。根据 KM-01 和 KM-02 采样点的 RQ 值 1.22 和 1.37，得出了苯丙胺和苯甲酰可待因的 RQ 值。这项研究是土耳其首次调查精神活性物质的存在并确定这些物质的环境风险的报告。
