Özet

Mercury has unique chemical features which predetermine its migration and accumulation behaviors in theenvironment. In this regard, the studies devoted to the identification of Hg contents and pollution issues shouldconsider both transit and deponent medium such as air dust and soils, respectively. This paper aimed at exploringspatial distribution characteristics, pollution levels and human health risk of Hg in dust and soils ofVanadzor urban area. A total of 42 street dust, 13 leaf deposited dust and 84 soil samples were collected from anarea covering the entire territory of Vanadzor, encompassing residential and industrial sites. The potential hazardassociated with Hg was assessed with the use of geo-accumulation index, enrichment factor and potentialecological risk index. The spatial distribution of concentrations of Hg suggested that high values were detectednear the Chemical Plant and on high traffic streets, indicate the possible anthropogenic origin of Hg. Accordingto geo-accumulation index, most of the samples in street dust were characterized as moderately polluted, in leafdeposited dust – from unpolluted to moderately polluted levels and all soil samples were characterized byunpolluted levels. Enrichment values are significantly higher in dust samples compared with soils. The potentialecological risk assessment showed that high, considerable, and low levels of ecological risk dominated in thestreet dust, leaf deposited dust and soils in the City area, respectively. The results of health risk assessmentshowed that detected contents of Hg are not risky for the health of the population.
