Abstract

In
this study, which was conducted to determine the total petroleum hydrocarbon
levels, surface water samples were taken from November 2008 to March 2010 from
5 stations determined in Sapanca Lake, which is used intensively for drinking,
municipal water and recreational activies. The water samples were extracted by
dichloromethane and measured by spectrofluorometer. The total hydrocarbon
levels were determined as minimum 0,24 µg/L maximum 26,78 µg/L (mean 7,29 ± 4,7
µg / L). The highest value was detected in November 2009 at the southern point
of the lake due to a leak in the NATO oil pipeline. This study is contributed
data on the levels of TPH in the Sapanca Lake. While detected TPH values
displayed over the national limits, it showed that there is potential for oil
pollution in the region, including pipeline leakage.

Sapanca Gölü Yüzey Sularında Toplam Petrol Hidrokarbon (TPH) Düzeyleri

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada önemli bir içme ve kullanma suyu kaynağı olan ve turizm
aktivitelerine ev sahipliği yapan Sapanca Gölü’nde toplam petrol hidrokarbon
düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla Kasım 2008-Mart 2010 tarihleri arasında 5
istasyondan yüzey suyu örnekleri alınmıştır. Su örnekleri diklorometan
ekstraksiyon yöntemi ile ekstrakte edilmiş ve spektrofluorometrede
(ShimadzuRF-5301) ölçülmüştür. Toplam hidrokarbon düzeyleri en düşük 0,24 µg/L
en yüksek 26,78 µg/L (ortalama 7,29±4,7 µg/L) aralığında tespit edilmiştir. En
yüksek değer, Kasım 2009 tarihinde NATO petrol boru hattında gerçekleşen
sızıntı sebebiyle gölün güney noktasında tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma Sapanca
Gölü kıyı sularında toplam petrol hidrokarbon değerleri bakımından veri
sağlamıştır. Elde edilen TPH verileri ulusal limit değerlerin üzerinde
bulunurken bölgede boru hattı sızıntısı dahil olmak üzere petrol kirliliği
bakımından potansiyel olduğunu göstermiştir.
