Özet:

 

The anthropogenic heavy metal pollution of Sivas city was  traced at seven stations which had the characteristic properties of  the city, spatially and temporally, during the summer seasons, between  1992-1994.  The heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe and Al)  accumulated on the sprouts of Pinaceae Pinus Sylvertris L. and  Fabaceae Rabinia Pseudoacacia L. were dissolved by ultrasonic  leaching and were measured by flame atomic absorption spectrometry  (FAAS).  The method of sample preparation was called the Bio  Collector-Ultrasonic Leaching Method (BC-ULM).  It was observed that the heavy metal pollution in the city   increased from 1992 to  1994. The stations affected by cement   factory and small industry emissions exhibited heavy metal   pollution higher than the others. An agreement was observed   between Pb pollution and traffic density and there also was a   parallelism between Cd pollution and the industrial emissions   while Fe and Al pollution reflected the effect of cement factory emissions   Our aim was to explain the relation between the   heavy metal pollution and meteorological conditions. The   precision of BC-ULM varied between 2.8 and 11.4 % (n=13)   as relative standard deviation % (RSD%) depended on the   analyte and nature of the sample.
