معرفی
İsmail Toröz is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, with an h-index of 12 and 955 Scopus citations. His research spans water quality, pollution control, and industrial waste management, focusing on critical environmental challenges in Turkish urban and agricultural contexts.
Toröz specializes in disinfection byproduct formation (particularly trihalomethanes), natural organic matter characterization, and advanced treatment of industrial effluents. His work integrates experimental analysis with modeling to address fluoride pollution from fertilizer industries, heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils, and hazardous waste generation in pesticide manufacturing. Key methodologies include membrane filtration (nanofiltration, membrane bioreactors) and source apportionment techniques for pollution tracking.
Recent publications (2015-2021) reveal consistent focus on Istanbul's water systems and Turkish industrial pollution. Dominant themes include disinfection byproduct control in drinking water, textile/opium alkaloid wastewater treatment, and agricultural soil contamination assessment. His research combines chemical analysis, process engineering, and environmental risk modeling to develop context-specific solutions for Turkey's unique pollution challenges.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Prize (2015)
Toröz has supervised 42 students and led six major research projects (2010-2021), including pesticide contamination studies in Istanbul's water sources, phosphogypsum risk assessment, and stabilization of steel industry byproducts. His projects demonstrate sustained funding and collaboration with Turkish environmental agencies on practical regulatory and remediation frameworks.
