Diclofenac, ibuprofen, and carbamazepine are commonly used in medicine, and they have been frequently detected in aquatic environments. Since they cannot be fully treated in treatment plants and can threaten the lives of aquatic life, effective treatment methods are needed to remove they from wastewater and contaminated waters. The removal of these compounds from synthetic seawater was investigated by utilizing the super adsor...

In this paper, we describe the pelagic and benthic ecosystem of the Golden Horn estuary opening into the Marmara Sea. To improve the water quality of the estuary, which had long been subject to severe anthropogenic pollution (industrial, chemical, shipping), industrial facilities were moved from the estuary in the 1980s, followed by a rehabilitation plan in the 1990s. Our results, based on chemical parameters and phytoplankton...

The subject of this report is benthic foraminifer populations preserved in the saltpan of Camalti in the Province of Izmir. High salinity in certain habitats of Ammonia tepida Cushman may be the primary cause of the high rate of twins and triplets as well as other morphological abnormalities recorded within this species (50 % as compared to an anomaly rate of 1 % in normal marine waters). Thicker cyst membrane developing in ex...
