Saydam Eker, Ç.; Sipahi, F.; Akpınar, I.
To investigate the impact of potential hazardous element (PHE) contamination on environmental and human health, the coaly shale, coal and shale coal outcrops of four sites, namely Ozyurt, Tarhanas, Kayadibi (Gümüşhane), and Manas (Bayburt), were selected as sampling areas for this study. The samples were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and a Rock–Eval 6 analyzer with a total organic carbon module. The enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk index (RI), and potential health risk index (HI) assessment models were used to evaluate the environmental and health risks in the vicinity of the coals. Results indicated that the mean concentrations of PHEs extensively changed and even exceeded the upper continental crust and world average values of low-rank coal concentrations. The assessment of the EF, RI and HI models revealed that the contamination levels of As, Hg, and Cd were higher than those of Pb, Co, Ni, V, and Mo. The evaluation of the EF revealed that the largest and lowest contamination levels of As, Hg, and Cd were observed in Ozyurt (29) and Kayadibi (1.8), Manas (9.6) and Kayadibi (1), and Kayadibi (5.6) and Tarhanas (1.9), respectively. A high-potential ecological risk was present in Ozyurt and Manas, whereas a considerable risk exists in Kayadibi and Tarhanas. The potential health risk values of As for children in Ozyurt, Tarhanas, and Manas and adults in Ozyurt were excessively high. This finding suggested the possibility of transferring the contamination from the coal, shale coal, and coaly shale outcrops

Sipahi, F.; Kaygusuz, A.; Saydam Eker, Ç.; Vural, A.; Akpınar, İ.
The geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope properties, as well as the Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma and Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb zircon age, of Eğrikar Monzogranite in the eastern Pontides, are primarily investigated in this study with the aim of determining its magma source and geodynamic evolution. The U–Pb zircon age obtained from Eğrikar Monzogranite is 78 ± 1.5 Ma, thereby reflecting the age of monzogranite. The I-type Eğrikar Monzogranite comprises quartz, plagioclase (An35–45), orthoclase, muscovite, and biotite. The geochemical analyses of the Eğrikar Monzogranite indicate being medium K calc-alkaline, peraluminous, and resembling magmatic arc granite. The Eğrikar Monzogranite is enriched in large ion lithophile elements and light rare earth elements relative to high field strength elements. Chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns have concave upward shapes (LaN/YbN 2.47–8.58) with pronounced negative Eu anomalies (EuN/Eu* = 0.29–0.65). Initial εNd(i) values vary between 1.85 and 2.18 and initial 87Sr/86Sr values between 0.7048 and 0.7067. Fractionation of plagioclase, hornblende, and apatite played an important role in the evolution of Eğrikar Monzogranite. The crystallization temperatures of the melts ranged from 770°C to 919°C based on zircon and apatite saturation temperatures. The geochemical and isotopic data suggest being generated by the partial melting of mafic lower crustal sources.

Eker, C.S.; Sipahi, F.; Akpnar, I.
Organic matter content, type of organic material, and thermal maturity of Lias-aged coals of the Gumushane and Bayburt areas were investigated. The total organic carbon contents of coals in the Gumushane area range from 0.39-35.46 wt%, and in the Bayburt area range from 0.02-50.64 wt%. The Gumushane (except Güvercinlik field) and Bayburt areas coals have low hydrogen index values. The coal samples contain a mixture of Type II and Type III kerogens. Based on average Tmax values Liassic coals in the Gumushane and Bayburt (except Cerci field) areas are mature, and potential yields are low.
