Abstract
Sediment plays a crucial role in water quality. Hydrophobic substances that cannot dissolve in water have potential to accumulate in sediment. Thus, by conducting only water quality monitoring, it is impossible to detect these substances. Moreover, by sediment monitoring, the information about historic contamination can be gained by performing vertical sampling in sediment. In this study, it is aimed to select the parameters that should be monitored in sediment in Beysehir Lake. For this purpose, specific pollutants that can originate around industries of Beysehir Lake is selected. Also, pesticides specific to plants that cultivated in Konya Basin is identified. Between these pollutants the ones that have the tendency to accumulate in sediment are specified. Priority substances are also studied and list of chemicals that should be monitored in sediment is determined.
