    Identifying Geogenic and Anthropogenic Aluminum Pollution on Different Spatial Distributions and Removal of Natural Waters and Soil in Çanakkale, Turkey
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Hızlı, Sezin; Koraoğlu, Aybike Gül; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Kobya, Mehmet
    The Canakkale-Kirazli region (Turkey) is enriched with minerals, especially aluminum (Al), which dangerously get transported into aquatic media due to several mining and geological activities in recent years. In this study, Al and other potentially toxic metals (PTMs) including B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Si, and Zn, in both water and soil samples, were measured for quality determination. Selected metals were also analyzed by the enrichment factor (EF), the geoaccumulation index (I-geo), the contamination factor (CF), and the pollution load index (PLI) to evaluate both water and soil pollution geogenically or anthropogenically. Also, the metals were clustered to support the pollution source with Pearson's correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Forty-five natural water samples and 12 soil samples were collected spatially. To perform pollution assessment, two fundamental treatment processes to remove Al pollution from the sample including the highest Al concentration (38.38 mg/L) in water were applied: (1) precipitation with pH adjustment and (2) removal with ion exchange. The pH values of water samples were changed in the range of 3-9 to test the dissolution of Al. The results demonstrated that the study area was mostly under the influence of geogenic aluminum pollution.

    Iron Absorption: Factors, Limitations, and Improvement Methods
    (American Chemical Society, 2022) Pişkin, Elif; Cianciosi, Danila; Güleç, Şükrü; Tomas, Merve; Çapanoğlu, Esra
    Iron is an essential element for human life since it participates in many functions in the human body, including oxygen transport, immunity, cell division and differentiation, and energy metabolism. Iron homeostasis is mainly controlled by intestinal absorption because iron does not have active excretory mechanisms for humans. Thus, efficient intestinal iron bioavailability is essential to reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia. There are two forms of iron, heme and nonheme, found in foods. The average daily dietary iron intake is 10 to 15 mg in humans since only 1 to 2 mg is absorbed through the intestinal system. Nutrient-nutrient interactions may play a role in dietary intestinal iron absorption. Dietary inhibitors such as calcium, phytates, polyphenols and enhancers such as ascorbic acid and proteins mainly influence iron bioavailability. Numerous studies have been carried out for years to enhance iron bioavailability and combat iron deficiency. In addition to traditional methods, innovative techniques are being developed day by day to enhance iron bioavailability. This review will provide information about iron bioavailability, factors affecting absorption, iron deficiency, and recent studies on improving iron bioavailability.
