Kaya, Gokce; Karaaslan, Nagihan M.; Yaman, Mehmet
The aim in this study is speciation and determination of arsenic in chicken meat matrix. For this purpose, chicken meat samples consumed commonly by Turkish people belonging to five different companies in Turkey were obtained from markets once per 15 days during 14 months. The samples were digested in microwave oven by using both nitric and hydrochloric acid. It was found that microwave digestion method can be used successfully in the speciation analysis of arsenic. The determination and speciation of As in solutions were carried out by hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrophotometry (HG-AAS). From the observed results, concentrations of As (V) were ranged between 3.0-14.0 ng g(-1) (mean 7.3 ng g(-1)) for breast tissues and 3.0-9.0 ng g(-1) (mean 5.1 ng g(-1)) for leg tissues. The concentrations of As (III) in all studied chicken tissues were found lower than the limit of detection (2 ng g(-1)).

Avci, Halim; Kaya, Gokce; Akdeniz, Ismail; Ince, Muharrem; Yaman, Mehmet
Levels of nickel and chromium in leaves of 14 plant species grown in industrial sites of Gaziantep and surrounding were examined for biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). The plant leaf samples were collected from different locations with different degrees of metal pollution. The metal levels in the plants were in the ranges of (with mean values) 0.4-28.0 (3.1) mg kg(-1) for Ni and 0.1-6.6 (1.5) mg kg(-1) for Cr. On the other hand, the Ni and Cr levels in the plant leaf samples collected from control) areas were in the ranges of 0.4-2.1 (1.1) and 0.1-1.4 (0.58) mg kg(-1), respectively. It was concluded that Pinus nigra L., Acacia robinia L., Platanus orientalis L., Nerium oleander L., Pyracantha coccinea M.Roem. and Populus nigra L. for Ni, Pinus nigra L., Acacia robinia L., Olea europaea L. and Nerium oleander L. for Cr could be biomonitors. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the plant leaves could be used for heavy metal air pollution monitoring in urban and industrial regions.

Kaya, Gokce; Yaman, Mehmet
Eleven plant species were collected from the vicinity of lead-battery plant in the city of Gaziantep, Turkey. Lead, cadmium and copper concentrations in the soil and leaves of plants were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Lead, Cd and Cu concentrations in the soil samples taken from battery area were found to be in the ranges of 304 similar to 602, 0. 4 similar to 0. 44 and 31 similar to 37 mg . kg(-1), respectively. Significantly increased lead concentration up to 2 750 mg . kg(-1) was found in the leaves of Eleagnus angustifolia L. plant. The lead concentrations in the other plant leaves taken from 50 m around battery factory followed the order Ailanthus altissima > Morus sp. > Juglans regia L. > Ficus carica L. > Cydonia oblonga Miller > Prunus x domestica L. The plants, Populus nigra L., Eleagnus angustifolia L. and Salix sp. were found useful for Cd, and the plant, Eleagnus angustifolia L. for Pb, to be considered as potential biomonitor. Especially, leaves of trees and plants taken from the distance of 50 m from battery plant have relatively higher Pb concentrations. Therefore, people who and animals which live in this area and benefit from these soil and plants have vital risks.

Kaya, Gokce; Yaman, Mehmet
The aim of this study is to assess the potential of bioindicator/biomonitor plants to determine pollution extent of toxic metals. Lead, cadmium, and copper concentrations in the plants including Platanus sp., Olea europaea L., Vitis vinifera L., and Armeniaca sp. taken from the industrial area of the city of Gaziantep, Turkey, and control location were determined by using STAT-atomic absorption spectrometry. Lead concentration in leaves of Platanus sp. taken from 50m around the battery plant was found to be higher than 3,000 mg kg(-1). The observed Pb concentration in this plant was 40 times higher than that in Armeniaca sp. grown in the same location. The limits of detection for plants were found to be 0.050 mg kg(-1) for Pb and Cu and 0.005 mg kg(-1) for Cd. It was concluded that the Platanus sp. plant can be considered as both biomonitor and hyperaccumulator.

Kaplan, Olcay; Kaya, Gokce; Yaman, Mehmet
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for all living organisms; however, excess amounts in soil, plants, and food have negative impacts on the environment and human health. The aim of this study was to determine Cu levels in different chemical phases of soils and the relationship between Cu levels in soil phases and concentrations in plants. Soils and plants grown in these soils from an industrialized area in Turkey were analyzed using a selective and four-stage sequential extraction procedure. Copper levels in exchangeable fractions were found up to 658 mg kg(-1) while total levels were in the range of 133-5609 mg kg(-1). Copper concentrations in plant parts (roots and stem) were in the range of 2.6-240 mg kg(-1). The exchangeable forms of Cu were in the range of 3-22% of total Cu concentrations. The relationships were observed between soil Cu and Rumex plant Cu, and soil Cu and root of Brassicasea plant Cu.

The assessment of trace metal pollution in Gaziantep city-Turkey has been studied using plant leaves of Pinus nigra L. and Eriobotrya japonica as biomonitor. The concentrations up to 3,056 mg Pb kg(-1) in the needles of Pinus nigra L., and 367 ng Cd g(-1) in the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica were determined. The observed Cu concentrations were in range of 1.6-7.1 mg kg(-1). The Pb, Cd, and Cu levels in soils were determined to be in the range of 17-602, 0.142-0.656, and 12-38 mg kg(-1), respectively. It was concluded that Pinus nigra L. can be considered as both biomonitor of atmospheric Pb pollution and hyperaccumulator plant.

Kaya, Gokce; Okumus, Nuh; Yaman, Mehmet
Pb, Cd and Cu concentrations in leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. plants collected from industrial areas in Gaziantep-Turkey were examined for biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The Pb levels in the leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected at a distance of 50 m from the battery plant were observed to be 2820 and 1860 mg kg(-1), respectively. The Pb, Cd, and Cu concentrations in the soils studied were in the range of 17-602, 0.142-0.656 and 12-38 mg kg(-1), respectively. Lead concentrations described above for plant leaves were found to be about 2000-fold higher than those in the same plants collected from the control area (1.0 mg Pb kg(-1) for both plant species). Similarly, Cd levels in Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected from polluted area were observed to be about 40 times higher than those from control area. Consequently, it is observed that the leaves of Neriurn oleander L. can be used for biomonitoring of Pb, and Robinia pseudoacacia L. for biomonitoring of both Pb and Cd pollution.

For over ten years, there has been a considerable interest in determination of acrylamide in foodstuffs. It was known that both protein-rich and carbohydrates-rich foods cooked at high-temperatures can cause acrylamide formation. However, carbohydrates-rich foods such as potato chips and biscuit samples have been the common studied foods compared with protein-rich foods such as meat samples. In this study, determination of acrylamide in these two group foods was examined using HPLC-MS. For this purpose, firstly, the parameters that are thought to affect the response in the HPLC-MS analysis were optimized. The optimized conditions were found to be 0.3 ml min(-1) for flow rate of mobile phase, 40 mu l for injection volume, 5 degrees C for column temperature and 70 V for fragmentor potential. The optimized method was applied for the determination of acrylamide levels in Turkish foodstuffs including grilled meat and chicken samples, potato chips, coffee and biscuit. The obtained concentrations for all studied foods were in the range of 20-250 mu g kg(-1). The results showed that acrylamide concentrations highly varied depending on the kind of food samples.
