Assessment of stream quality and health risk in a subtropical Turkey river system: A combined approach using statistical analysis and water quality index
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of agricultural activities and domestic pollution on water quality in the Turnasuyu Basin was evaluated using standard methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), Pearson correlation index (PCI), and clustering analysis (CA).

Potential toxic elements in sediment of some rivers at Giresun, Northeast Turkey: A preliminary assessment for ecotoxicological status and health risk
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration of globally alarming potential toxic elements (PTEs) like Aluminum (Al), chrome (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and uranium (U) were measured in surface sediment of seven major rivers residing in Giresun (one of the most important Hazelnut production areas of Turkey).
