Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the concentration of boron in the waters of the Gediz River. According to the results, the boron concentrations ranged from 0.125 to 4.548 mg/L. The average boron value (2.428 mg/L) was compared with “Environmental Regulations, Water Pollution Control Regulations and Quality Criteria for Inland Water Resources by Class”. The Gediz River was determined as class IV (very polluted) in terms of the boron parameters. It was concluded that the reason for the high boron values were natural and/or industrial discharges at some stations.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
