Özet

ABSTRACT: The Black Sea is a semi-enclosed sea and, located between 40º27'N-46º32'N latitude and 27º27'E- 41º42'E longitude. The Black Sea environment is highly contaminated in many urban and industrialized areas of the many countries, resulting in severe ecotoxicological impacts. Heavy metals are toxic substances that accumulate in food chains with the increasing concentrations and some of the prominent environmental pollutants are organic and inorganic pollutants (such as organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDTs, PAHs, HCBs, HCHs) which are not only toxic to humans, but also highly bioaccumulative due to their high lipophilicity and persistence. The aim of this study is to discuss the water and sediment quality in the central part of the mid-Black Sea coast of Turkey, with further coastal modeling techniques by comparing the heavy metals and organic pollutants in different researches.The mathematical modelling is an important tool to manage the coastal area which is heavily polluted from land-based organic and inorganic pollutants such in the case of Black Sea basin. So ,the near past monitoring researches were discussed here in order to collect data and calibrate the environmental models.
