Özet
In this study, two economically important rivers of Turkey, Gediz and Buyuk Menderes (BM) are studied to determine their environmental pollution levels. An old analytical procedure involving sequential chemical extraction is improved and used for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb and Ni). Cationic and anionic Mn and Cr species with different phases are also determined by-using leaching, extraction and ion exchange speciation processes.
