The need for proper healthcare waste management has been a crucial issue in many
developing countries as it is in Turkey. The regulation regarding healthcare wastes in Turkey …

The paper summarizes studies of the distributions of 90Sr and 137Cs in the water and
sediments of the Black Sea carried out during a 10-year period following the 1986 accident …

The recent radionuclide measurements have showed that concentrations of the Chernobyl-
derived 137 Cs and 90 Sr in the surface Black Sea waters are still relatively high, reaching …

Sedimentation transport of 137Cs can lead to the significant accumulation of this
radionuclide at depths that could not be reached through the vertical water exchange alone; …

The chapter summarizes research of spatial and time trends in radioactive contamination of
marine environment and the fate of long-lived radionuclides, particularly 137Cs and 90Sr …

The depth of the lower boundary of gradient layer was estimated as depth of lower
extremum of the third derivation from the function (1). The calculations were conducted for …

A model forced with meteorological and run-off data and anthropogenic radioactivity input,
was developed to simulate the transport of radionuclides in the chain system of the …

Anthropogenic radionuclide pollution of the Black Sea originated primarily from the
atmospheric nuclear weapon tests carried out during the late 1950s and early 1960s before …

Due to its geographical location and limited water exchange with the rest of the World
Ocean, the Black Sea has been one of the marine basins most contaminated with artificial …

The 90 Sr and 137 Cs inputs from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Basin through the
Bosporus Strait after the Chernobyl NPP accident were estimated. It is obtained that the 90 …
