Elazığ Belediyesi Atıksu Arıtma Tesisi arıtma çamurlarının helmintolojik yönden bir yıllık değerlendirmesi

Atık suların arıtımı sonucu oluşan arıtma çamurlarının tarımsal alanlarda kullanımı günümüzde birçok ülkede benimsenmiş bir uygulamadır. Ancak, helmint yumurtaları ile kirlenmiş olan bu çamurların kullanılması insan ve çevre sağlığı açısından önemli riskler oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Elazığ Belediyesi Atık Su Arıtma Tesisi'nin çamur kurutma yatakları ile nihai alandaki arıtma çamurlarının Haziran 2004 ve Mayıs 2005 tarihleri arasındaki dönemde helmint düzeyinin saptaması amaçlanmıştır. Arıtma çamurlarından her ay alınan örnekler incelenmiş ve en sık Trichuris, Ascaris, Toxocara, Strongiloides ve Taenia türlerine ait yumurtalar saptanmıştır. Özellikle yaz aylarında artan helmint yoğunluğundan dolayı bu çamurların tarımsal amaçlı kullanımı insan ve çevre sağlığı açısından riskli görülmüştür.

Helminthological investigation of Elazığ Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant for one year

Utilization of the wastewater treatment plant in the agriculture has been currently accepted in most countries. On the other hand, it presents high risks for human and environmental health using of the contaminated plants with helminth eggs. For this aim, helminth levels were determined in samples of effluents and treatment sludge of Elazig Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant during June 2004-May 2005 period. Composite effluent and treatment sludge samples taken per each month were investigated during the period and the eggs of Trichuris, Strongyloides, Ascaris, Toxocara and Taenia were commonly found. It was considered as bearing high risk of the utilization of this wastewater treatment plant for the agriculture, due to the increasing concentration of the helminths in the summer session.
