Microbial fauna of the outdoor ambient air of Istanbul has been determined in European side of Istanbul province at four differentdistricts (Bakirkoy, Fatih, Basaksehir and Esenler) by active and passive sedimentation sampling methods. In addition tometeorological factors, the effect of urbanization and traffic density for the air microbial load is also determined. Outdoor airsampling was performed between April 2014 and November 2015. The sedimentation method was done by standart plate count agar(PCA) opening the cover of the petri dishes containing a prepared medium. Standart plate count agar (PCA) medium was used for thedetermination of total bacteria while malt extract agar (MEA) was used for fungi. The colonies formed at the end of this period werecounted and total number of bacteria and fungi per unit volume and area were determined. Air temperature, relative humidity, windspeed and direction were also recorded. As a result of the active sampling method, the most counted units of bacteria was determinedat 35°C in Basaksehir station as 222 CFU(Colony forming unit)/m³, maximum fungal was determined as 286 CFU/m³at 20°Cincubation temperature. The maximum amount of bacteria in the passive sampling method results at 35°C was in Bakirkoy station as9250 CFU/m³.

In our study we studied pollution and heavy metal fractions in the Golden Horn (Istanbul, Turkey). This area has been exposed to domestic and industrial pollution for many years. Concentrations of Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Ni heavy metals were determined in the study that was conducted to monitor the current state of pollution and changing conditions in the polluted estuary. Mean heavy metal concentrations were found as: Zn 70-260, Cr 26-110, Cu 70-135, Pb 8-50, Cd 0.1-2, and Ni 10-38 mg/kg. Results of the analysis showed that metal concentrations were usually low, indicating that the sediment was not too polluted in the present case. The range of ratios, different fractions of metal concentrations, and total metal concentrations in the samples were critical for potential toxicity and mobility of metals. Results of the analysis showed that heavy metal fractions in the sediment were usually found in residual forms. The values obtained in the study were also compared with the literature. It was found that surface sediments in the Golden Horn were less polluted than other areas. Establishment of sewer collectors and wastewater treatment plants has improved the heavy metal levels in the sediment.

Aclonifen was used as the most preferable type of herbicide which is used in sunflower farming in the Thrace Region. Bacteria and fungi were isolated from the soil samples taken from the Thrace Region, and a mixed culture was prepared from equal volumes (10(8) CFU/mL) of liquid cultures of microorganisms. Including the witness sample, five different setups were prepared, to which Aclonifen, with a concentration of 1900 mu g/L, was added. Each unit was diluted with distilled water for six weeks. The water filtered at this stage was measured for chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon (TOC), and Aclonifen. Additionally, pH and dissolved oxygen measurement was performed. According to the results of the study, the highest bioremediation was observed in the soil sample to which 10 mL of mixed culture of microorganisms was added and Aclonifen, COD, BOD5, and TOC remediation was observed as 93.2%, 97.8%, 98.8%, and 98.7%, respectively.
