Sarıkum Gölü‘nde (Sinop) Anyonik Deterjan Kirliliğinin Belirlenmesi

The study was aimed to determine the anionic detergent pollution level and some physico-chemical parameters (pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved substance, conductivity, temperature, phosphate, oxidation reduction potential) seasonally in Sarıkum Lake, which is located in Sinop province between November 2016 and July 2017. According to one-year measurement data, the highest of anionic detergent concentration was 0.056 mg / L and the lowest value was 0.021 mg / L. The classification of the results was made in accordance with the Water Pollution Control Regulation (2008) and Surface Water Quality Regulation (2016). In the study, Water quality is equivalent to Class I (high quality) in terms of anionic detergent, pH and temperature values but are equivalent to Class II (a bit dirty) and III (dirty) in point of dissolved oxygen, total dissolved matter and phosphate phosphorus values. In addition, it is equivalent to Class IV (very dirty) with regard to conductivity value. Detergent pollution coming from the settlements of Sarıkum Lake is observed to be low in contrast to expectations, while the high phosphorus value shows that the ecosystem living in the lake is exposed to agricultural pollution especially in terms of environmental resources.
