Abstract

This study was conducted to determine heavy metal levels in macroalgae (Ulva sp. and Enteromorpha sp.) on four beach heavily used by the people in the province of Mersin, for this purpose; Aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) levels were determined on a monthly basis. The results showed that the highest accumulation of heavy metals in algae were detected at station 1 with Cu and Zn, at station 2 with Cd and at station 4 with Al, Mn, Fe and Ni. Accumulation levels of heavy metals have been detected in the order Fe>Al>Mn>Ni>Zn> Cr>Cu>Pb>Cd; Fe>Al>Ni>Mn>Zn>Cr>Cu>Pb>Cd and Fe>Al>Mn>Ni>Cr>Zn>Pb>Cd> Cu in Ulva sp, in Enteromorpha sp. and in sediment samples respectively.

Özet

Mersin ili sınırları içerisinde halk tarafından yoğun olarak kullanılan dört plajda makroskobik yeşil algler (Ulva sp. ve Enteromorpha sp.) ve sedimentte ağır metallerin birikiminin belirlenmesi amacıyla, Alüminyum (Al), Krom (Cr), Mangan (Mn), Demir (Fe), Nikel (Ni), Bakır (Cu), Çinko (Zn), Kurşun (Pb), ve Kadmiyum (Cd) düzeyleri aylık olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda Cu ve Zn istasyon 1, Cd istasyon 2 ve Al, Mn, Fe ve Ni ise istasyon 4’de alglerde en yüksek birikimi gösteren ağır metaller olmuşlardır. Ağır metallerin birikim düzeylerinin alglerde ve sedimentte sıralanması, Ulva sp.’de Fe> Al>Mn>Ni>Zn>Cr>Cu>Pb>Cd; Enteromorpha sp.’de Fe>Al>Ni>Mn>Zn>Cr>Cu>Pb>Cd; sediment örneklerinde ise Fe>Al>Mn>Ni>Cr>Zn>Pb>Cd>Cu şeklinde tespit edilmiştir.
