2023, Chemical Engineering JournalCitation Excerpt :Moreover, co-contamination of As, Sb and Pb is common in mines, shooting ranges soils, and mechanical manufacturing sites. To be specific, As, existing in the forms of As(III) and As(V), is one of the most common contaminants in mining, pesticide/herbicide production facilities, and metal alloy manufacturing sites [8]. Pb may be deposited in the soil primarily through release from mining activities, smelting of lead ores, alloy production and refining.

2019, Journal of HydrologyCitation Excerpt :However, the As epidemic in the Turkish territory has received only a limited recognition from the international community, which can be deduced from the lack of reference to case studies from Turkey in the peer-reviewed literature (e.g. Mandal and Suzuki, 2002; Rahman, 2002; Smedley and Kinniburgh, 2002; Ratnaike, 2003; Amini et al., 2008; Zhou et al., 2017). The review of case studies found in the growing body of literature revealed that natural (geogenic) As contamination is a prevailing phenomenon, especially in western Turkey (e.g. Aegean, Marmara, and Central Anatolia regions), which mainly occurs in: (i) mineralized areas found in a wide variety of geologic and tectonic settings (Akçay et al., 1996; Karayigit et al., 2000; Çolak et al., 2003; Yılmaz, 2007; Gemici et al., 2009; Gunduz et al., 2010; Eliopoulos et al., 2012; Özkul et al., 2015; Benzer, 2017); (ii) areas of active geothermal systems (Gemici and Tarcan, 2004; Aksoy et al., 2009; Baba et al., 2009; Pasvanoğlu and Chandrasekharam, 2011; Bundschuh et al., 2013); and (iii) areas of past volcanic activity (Querol et al., 1997; Altaş et al., 2011; Yuce and Yasin, 2012; Simsek, 2013). In these studies, reported As concentrations reach up to 5900 mg kg−1 in stream sediments (Gemici et al., 2009) and 2488 mg kg−1 in soils (Özkul et al., 2015) around mineralized areas, 7754 µg L−1 in a cold spring (6 °C) issuing from colemanite-bearing clay zone rich in As minerals (Çolak et al., 2003), 1420 µg L−1 in hot fluids (137 °C) from a geothermal field (Aksoy et al., 2009), and 345 µg L−1 in an aquifer system developed in an area of past volcanic activity (Simsek, 2013).
