Snow samples from six sites located in and around urban areas in Sivas city, Turkey, were collected in the winter of 2000. After ultrasonic leaching of the melted snow solutions, they were analysed for heavy metals (Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni and Cd) by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The results of the analyses were us…

ABSTRACT Hydropower is a sustainable and renewable energy source that can serve as a practical and economically viable solution to the future possible energy crisis and climate change scenarios. Moreover, it possesses a higher energy density compared to other alternative renewable energy sources such as solar, wind en…

The present work details the decrease-increase profiles of Cu, Cr, and Pb by the aquatic plant Lemna minor. A mixture of these metals were utilized at different concentrations. Removal profiles of each metal was determined with water samples taken every 24 h for a 144 h period after the 48 h mark and was examined with…
