Abstract

Abstract Oil pollution in the surface water of the Aegean Sea was investigated from the Çanakkale Strait (Dardanelles) to the Marmaris Harbour, during 17-25 April in 2005. The oil pollution of samples was determined by UVF, through various crude oils and also chrysene as references materials. The oil pollution in water was ranged from 6.17 μg/L at Datca to 59.58 μg/L at Kusadasi through Russian crude oil equivalent. The highest polluted areas were Babakale-Kusadasi Bay, West of Giadoros Island and Yalikavak - Kardak Island. The comparison the results of present work with the earlier findings, showed that the pollution level is increased during the years in this area.
