Topal, Murat
In this study, the bioaccumulation of some metals by Phragmites australis plants exposed to poultry slaughterhouse wastewater was investigated. For this aim, Mo, As, Cd, Se, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ba, Ti, Fe, Al, and Mn metals were determined in slaughterhouse wastewaters, P. australis plants, and sediment samples. The uptake of metals by P. australis was investigated. Also, BCF and TF values were calculated and compared with reference plant values. The maximum metal accumulation in P. australis plants exposed to poultry slaughterhouse wastewaters was 5900% for Al and 33.5% for Mn when compared with reference plant values. According to the BCF values, P. australis was bioaccumulative for Mo, Se, and Al. As a result, it was determined that P. australis plant can be used in the remediation of metals found in poultry slaughterhouse wastewaters and would be a good accumulator.

Topal, Murat; Öbek, Erdal; Arslan Topal, E. Işıl
We have presented a study to determine the possibility for the usage of Cladophora fracta as bioaccumulator of the metals (Au) and silver (Ag) both have characteristics of pollutant and precious in mine water. The highest concentrations accumulated by C. fracta were determined as 5.8 ± 0.3 and 5323 ± 75 µg/kg for Au and Ag, respectively. The results showed that the accumulation of the metals measured followed the order of Ag > Au. The Metal Pollution Index (MPI) values calculated between 39.37 × 10−3 and 175.7 × 10−3 were used to determine the pollution degree of C. fracta. As a result, it was determined that C. fracta highly accumulated the precious metals from the gallery water. Therefore, C. fracta was a good bioaccumulator for the remediation of Au and Ag in mine gallery waters. In this way, it is possible to minimize or eliminate the environmental risks of the precious metals in the gallery waters.
