Özet
The investigation area is located to the east of Kutahya-Tavsanli and covers an area about 150 km(2) The units cropping out in the study area comprise of metamorphic volcanic and sedimentary rocks ranging from Upper Paleozoic to Quaternary There are some polymetallic ore deposits represented by silver zinc lead and antimony deposits and some enrichments related to them such as As Cd 11 Cu Mn Ba and Sr around the Aktepe at the southeast of the study area In order to investigate the heavy metal contents and contamination in soil and plants some leaves branches and fruits of trees (Salix oak Quercus sp pine Anus sp apple Malus communts walnut Juglans regia poplar Populus sp plane Platanus orientalis pear Pyrus communis oleaster Elaeagnus angustifolia) and some herbaceous plants like prickle and meadow samples have been collected and subjected to geochemical analysis Mean element concentrations of soil samples are 0 7 ppm Ag 82 6 ppm Pb 165 3 ppm Zn and 8 5 ppm Sb The concentration of As Cd Tl Cu Mn Ba and Sr are 203 3 1 5 1 7 326 1059 5 718 4 and 289 6 ppm respectively With respect to plants the average heavy metal concentrations are 0 14 ppm Ag 2 49 ppm Pb 52 34 ppm Zn and 1 05 ppm Sb and the average concen tration of As Cd 11 Cu Mn Ba and Sr are 441 064 0 19 654 119 80 39 46 versus 41 21 ppm respectively Element distributions of soil and plants depend on to the distance from the present Ag-Pb-Zn-Sb deposits Element concentrations of plants differ depending on not only plant type like tree and herbaceous plants but also the types of samples such as leaves branches or fruits of trees Especially leaves of trees and herbaceous plants have relatively higher element concentrations Therefore people who and animals which live in this area and benefit from these soil and plants have vital risks.
