abstract = "One of the most BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and a mixture of o-, m- and pxylenes) compounds are prominent environmental pollutants commonly found in discharges and
petroleum products. These volatile aromatic compounds (VOCs) are severely toxic to living
organisms if contact is maintained. They originate from incomplete combustion of organic matter,
and their major sources to the urban environment include vehicular emissions (mobile source),
gasoline evaporation, coal burning and residential heating, and waste incineration (stationary
sources). Water sediments are not well known as a source of BTEX. However, it is crucial to consider
that they can act as a source, as well as sink, of organic compounds, especially in a water body
located in an urban city exposed excessively to the above-mentioned sources of BTEX. In this study,
we aimed to identify and quantitatively analyze VOCs compounds in sediment by using purge-andtrap (P&T) gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).",
