Tunceli İli Munzur ve Pülümür Çayı Kent Plajlarının Mikrobiyolojik Kalitesinin Değerlendirilmesi ve Halk Sağlığı Riskleri

Abstract

Tunceli ili Munzur ve Pülümür çayı üzerindeki plajlarının 2019 yılı yaz sezonu boyunca çay suların numunelerinin mikrobiyolojik analiz sonuçları fekal indikakatör bakteri açısından uygunluğu değerlendirilmesi ve bu plajların yüzme suyu kalitesinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma 2019 yılında Haziran- Eylül ayları arasında Tunceli ili Pülümür ve Munzur Çayları üzerinde 10 numune alma noktasından numunelerinin mikrobiyolojik sonuçları dâhil edilerek veriler yüzme suyu kalitesi yönetmeliğine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Fekal streptokok, toplam koliform, fekal koliform bakteri analize göre en yüksek Ağustos ayı, en düşük ise Mayıs, Temmuz ayında tespit edilmiştir. Pülümür ve Munzur Çayı üzerindeki plajlardan alınan tüm numune noktalarındaki yüzme suyu kalite sınıfının B sınıfı olduğu belirlenmiştir. İlk defa iç sularda uygulanan yüzme suyu ilgili yönetmenliğim zorunlu değeri aşan veri olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Esinti, Halbori, Kavacık, Kutu deresi, Anahita plajları yüzme için en tüm zamanlarda elverişli yüzme alanlarıdır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Tunceli kent plajları mikrobiyal parametreler açısından kirli olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Fakat bu çalışmada Munzur Çayı ve Pülümür çayı havzasındaki mikrobiyal yükü azaltmak için uygun yöntemler kullanılarak düzenli izleme ve değerlendirme yapılması önerilmektedir.

Evaluation of the Microbiological Quality and Public Health Risks of Urban Beaches on the Munzur and Pülümür Streams in Tunceli Province

Abstract

The study is aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of water samples obtained from the beaches of the Munzur and Pülümür streams in Tunceli province, during the summer season of 2019. The samples were analyzed for the fecal indicator bacteria to reveal the bathing water quality of these beaches. The samples were collected from 10 sampling points in the study region between June and September 2019. Fecal streptococci, total coliform, fecal coliform bacteria were determined the highest in August and the lowest in May and July according to the analysis. The data were evaluated according to the bathing water quality directive. The bathing water quality was identified as class B for all the sample points on the beaches. It was found that there was no data exceeded the mandatory value, as per the bathing water directive. This has been applied for the first time for inland waters. Esinti, Halbori, Kavacik, Kutu Stream, and Anahita beaches were found to be most suitable for swimming. According to the results obtained, it was determined that Tunceli city beaches are not polluted in terms of microbial parameters. However, in this study, it is recommended to carry out regular monitoring and evaluation by using appropriate methods to reduce the microbial load in the Munzur Stream and Pülümür Stream basins.
