Abstract:

In this study, in fish gathered from the Tekirdağ coastal area, the remains of Organic Chlorine Pesticide (OCP) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) are identified as Permanent Organic Pollutant (KOK). According to the literary research, there was no study on the determination of OCP and PAH remains in fish in the Tekirdağ coastal area. In this context, the presented work is in the nature of an original work that was first presented to literature. From 4 different stations identified on the Tekirdağ coastline, 4 different species of dive fish have been collected in the spring season of 2018; samples of dive fish, tongue fish, single fish, light fish. Each sampled fish sample is subject to Soxhlet extraction with the solution Hekzan: Aseton (1:1) and then organic phase is purified with the chromatographic method. In purified samples, OCP and PAH remainder analyses were carried out using GC-EDC and GC-MS devices. According to the results obtained, the OCP and PAH remains identified in 4 different fish species were compared with the FAO/WHO and the Turkish Food Code (TGK) Maximum Rest Limit (MRL) values and the found values were found below the MRL values.
