Levels of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur containing organic compounds were studied in the air at the deltas of the polluted creeks in the city of Izmir, Turkey in summer 2001. High concentrations of these malodorous compounds were measured in the air samples. Presence of these compounds in the air was connected with the dark appearance and rising gas bubbles in the studied segments of the creeks. These creeks were like open sewers carrying wastewaters from the industry and residential areas into the inner Izmir Bay until September 2001. Within the scope of this study organic sulfur compounds such as methane thiol, ethane thiol, 2-propane thiol, 2-butane thiol, dimethylsulfide, dimethyldisulfide, thiophene, diphenylsulfide and hydrogen sulfide were studied in the air at selected urban sites where odor nuisance was recognized. Flux measurements from polluted surfaces were preferred rather than direct ambient air measurements. Organic sulfur emission fluxes from the creek surfaces were found above the values reported in the literature. Their concentrations and fluxes were higher in June field program. A limited number of measurements of reduced sulfur compound emission concentrations from the wastewater treatment plant equalization tank and the sludge drying beds as well as the landfill soil surface were also included in the study. Concentrations of total organic sulfur compounds and certain individual components such as dimethylsulfide and hydrogen sulfide in emitted gases from river surfaces were correlated with ambient SO(2) concentrations.
2001年夏季，对土耳其伊兹密尔市受污染小溪三角洲空气中的硫化氢和含硫有机化合物水平进行了研究。在空气样本中检测到了这些恶臭化合物的高浓度。这些化合物在空气中的存在与小溪研究段的暗黑外观和不断冒出的气泡有关。直到2001年9月，这些小溪就像露天下水道，将来自工业和居民区的废水排入伊兹密尔湾内部。在本研究范围内，在选定的、已确认存在气味问题的城市地点的空气中，对甲硫醇、乙硫醇、2-丙硫醇、2-丁硫醇、二甲基硫醚、二甲基二硫醚、噻吩、二苯硫醚和硫化氢等有机硫化合物进行了研究。研究更倾向于测量受污染表面的通量，而非直接测量环境空气。发现小溪表面的有机硫排放通量高于文献报道的值。在6月的实地调查中，它们的浓度和通量更高。该研究还包括对污水处理厂均衡池、污泥干燥床以及垃圾填埋场土壤表面排放的还原态硫化合物浓度进行的有限次数测量。河流表面排放气体中的总有机硫化合物以及某些个别成分（如二甲基硫醚和硫化氢）的浓度与环境二氧化硫浓度相关。
