Investigation of the Effects of Air Conditioner Waste Water on Wheat and Barley

Abstract

Herein this study, the effects of the wastewaters that  transmitted to the ecosystem  from the air conditioner on the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants were investigated. The soil to be planted for study was mixed at different concentrations (1/5, 2/5, 3/5) of the air conditioner wastewater except for the control group. On 650 g of soil 5 g of barley and 7 g of wheat seed were planted and covered with 100 g of soil. Wheat was irrigated at regular intervals in accordance with field capacity. The wheat was harvested after 15 days and the barley was harvested after 11 days. After weighing the harvested samples electrolyte leakage, MDA, CAT, SOD activities were determined by extraction. Along with that wheat and barley specimens were analyzed for metal concentrations in ICP-OES after pre-treatment. The relationship between control samples and samples grown at different concentrations of A/C wastewater was evaluated statistically and significant differences were determined.

Klima Atık Sularının, Buğday ve Arpa Üzerindeki Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile günümüzde her geçen gün kullanımı artan klimalardan, ekosisteme bulaşabilecek atık suların arpa (Hordeum vulgare L.) ve buğday (Triticum aestivum L.) bitkileri üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma için ekim yapılacak toprağa, kontrol grubunun haricinde sulamada kullanılan suya farklı konsantrasyonlarda (1/5, 2/5, 3/5) klima atık suları karıştırılmıştır. 650 g toprağın üzerine 5 g arpa ve 7 g buğday tohumu ekilmiş, bunun üzeri ise 100 g toprak ile örtülmüştür. Tarla kapasitesine uygun olarak buğdaylar belirli aralıklarla sulanmıştır. Buğdaylar, 15 gün, arpalar ise 11 günün sonunda hasat edilmiştir. Hasat edilen örneklerin ağırlıkları ölçüldükten sonra, ekstraksiyon işlemi uygulanarak örneklerde elektrolit sızıntı, MDA, CAT, SOD aktiviteleri belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte buğday ve arpa örnekleri, ön işlemlerden geçirildikten sonra metal konsantrasyonları ICP-OES cihazında analiz edilmiştir. Kontrol örnekleri ile klima atık sularının farklı konsantrasyonlarında yetiştirilen örnekler arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiş, anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir.
