Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the heavy metal concentartion and their possible origin in recent sediments collected from 33 locations along the Tasucu Bay (Mersin) coast, Turkey. Sediment texture, major (Fe, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Na, K, Ti) and trace elements (Pb, Zn, Mn, Sn, As, Sb, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ag, Cd, Ni, Mo, V, W) in all samples were measured. The overall concentration of major and trace elements were normalized to the Al and the enrichment factor were also derived. Multivariate statistical analyses indicates significant correlation among the heavy metal fractions suggesting that the close relationship of trace metals are from the same source in the study area. The distribution of major and trace elements indicate three different factors where the first factor indicates the anthropogenic activities, the second factor indicates the natural process and the third one as intermediate factor suggesting a perfect difference between sources (anthropogenic) in the study area. Comparison of the elements with other fields shows that Sb, Mo, As, Cr, W, Ni, Sn and Co are rich. Remedial measures should be taken to restore normal conditions especially at The coastal sediments of Tasucu bay.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye, Taşucu Körfezi (Mersin) sahili boyunca 33 lokasyondan toplanan güncel çökeltilerde ağır metal içeriklerini ve olası kökenlerini incelemektir. Tüm örneklerdeki sedimanter dokusu, ana (Fe, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Na, K, Ti) ve eser (Pb, Zn, Mn, Sn, As, Sb, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ag, Cd, Ni, Mo, V, W) element içerikleri ölçülmüştür. Ana ve eser elementlerin genel konsantrasyonu Al'a normalize edildi ve zenginleştirme faktörü hesaplanmıştır. Çok değişkenli istatistiksel analizler, ağır metal içerikleri arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon ilişkisini göstermesi ve eser metallerin yakın ilişkisinin olduğunu göstermesi bunların aynı kaynaktan olduğunu göstermektedir. Ana ve eser elementlerin dağılımı üç farklı faktöre işaret etmektedir; birinci faktör antropojenik aktiviteleri, ikinci faktör doğal süreci ve üçüncüsü ise çalışma alanındaki kaynaklar arasında (antropojenik) önemli bir fark olduğunu gösteren ara faktördür. Elementlerin diğer alanlarla karşılaştırılması neticesinde Sb, Mo, As, Cr, W, Ni, Sn ve Co’ın zengin olduğu gözlenmiştir. Taşucu körfezinin özellikle kıyı çökellerinde normal koşulların yeniden sağlanması için iyileştirici önlemler alınmalıdır.
