Özet:

 Objective: The cleanliness and reliability of water resources is an issue that is kept under regular and continuous control in terms of public health. However, the list of regularly controlled chemical pollutants is limited and it should be noted that the presence of some pollutants that occur with regional or temporal changes may be overlooked. Volatile Organic Compounds VOC are organic chemicals that both evaporate into air and dissolve in water. VOC are common in everyday life, used in industry, agriculture, transportation and many processes. They are known to be released into the environment, can reach water sources and groundwater, may become persistent and enter the drinking water supply system. Many of these chemicals are toxic, may pose human health or ecological concerns. Volatile organic pollutants also show great diversity, and long-term and nationwide studies based on large and widespread sources indicate that some VOC are seen in water sources. Method: In this study, a signal search was conducted to determine whether there is a regional water pollution in tap waters in Ankara. Tap water samples were taken from the districts of Ankara and the amount of VOC was measured by Head-Space-Gas-Chromatography method. Results: Measurements performed for formaldehyde, n-pentane, tertbutylmethylether, n-hexane, ethylacetate, heptane, 1-butanol, 1,4-dioxane were below the limits of detection LOD. Conclusion: The results of the study show that there is no signal indicating pollution for 8 selected VOC in any region of the province.

 Amaç: Su kaynaklarının temizliği ve güvenilirliği konusu halk sağlığı açısından düzenli ve sürekli kontrol altında tutulan bir husustur. Bununla birlikte, düzenli olarak kontrol edilen kimyasal kirleticilerin listesi sınırlıdır ve bölgesel veya zamana bağlı değişikliklerle meydana gelen bazı kirleticilerin varlığının gözden kaçabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Uçucu Organik Bileşikler UOB, hem havaya buharlaşan hem de suda çözünen organik kimyasallardır. UOB normal günlük hayatımızda sanayide, tarımda, ulaşımda ve birçok işlemde kullanıldığı için günlük yaşamda yaygındır. Yaygın olarak kullanılan UOB çevreye salındığı bilinmekte ve su kaynaklarına ve yer altı sularına ulaştıklarında, birçok UOB kalıcı hale gelebilmekte ve içme suyu tedarik sistemine dahil olabilmektedirler. Bu kimyasalların birçoğu zehirli olup ve içme suyu veya çevrede insan sağlığı veya ekolojik kaygılar oluşturabilmektedirler. Uçucu organik kirleticiler de büyük bir çeşitlilik göstermektedir ve uzun vadeli ve ülke çapında geniş ve yaygın kaynaklara dayalı araştırmalar, su kaynaklarında bazı UOB görüldüğünü göstermektedir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Ankara ilindeki musluk sularında bölgesel bir su kirliliği olup olmadığının tespiti için sinyal araştırması yapılmıştır. Ankara ili ilçelerinden musluk suyu numuneleri alınmış olup, UOB miktarı Head Space Gaz Kromatografisi yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Bulgular: Formaldehit, n-pentan, tertbutilmetileter, n-hekzan, etilasetat, heptan, 1-butanol, 1,4-dioksan için gerçekleştirilen ölçümler tayin sınırları LOD altında kalmıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçları, ilin herhangi bir bölgesinde seçilmiş 8 adet UOB kimyasalı için kirliliğe işaret eden bir sinyal olmadığını göstermektedir.
