Özet:

 This study was aimed to establish the levels of geochemically heavy metal contents in soils situated in the vicinity of settlements, university, industries, and agricultural activities alongside the Aksaray-Adana E-90 highway, and to determine the extent of heavy metal pollution by comparing it with national and international standards. In this study, the soil samples were collected from fifteen locations. The concentrations of arsenic As, cadmium Cd, cobalt Co, copper Cu, nickel Ni, and lead Pb in the samples were measured using an Inductively Coupled PlasmaMass Spectrometer ICP-MS. The analytical results showed varying concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, and Pb, ranged from 2 to 212,8 mgkg, 0,1 to 0,4 mgkg, 1,4 to 19,1 mgkg, 5,1 to 39,6 mgkg, 12,4 to 110,7 mgkg and 7,6 to 53,2 mgkg, respectively. The concentrations of As, Ni, and Pb in some of the soil samples in the study area exceeded the limit values in the soils recommended by Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Türkiye and the World Health Organization. Similarly, some of the soil samples exhibited enrichment of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, and Pb based on the geological average values including those of the upper continental crust, world soil, and shale. Moreover, the calculations of the geo-accumulation index Igeo revealed that the existence of soil pollution with As, Cd, Ni, and Pb in the soils within the study area. It was also established that Co and Cu did not show significant pollution based on the Igeo calculations, although these showed an increasing trend in certain areas.

 Bu çalışma da Aksaray-Adana E-90 karayolunun çevresinde yerleşim yerleri, eğitim üniversite, sanayi ve tarımsal faaliyetlerin sürdürüldüğü bölgede yer alan toprakların jeokimyasal olarak ağır metal içeriklerinin belirlenmesi ve ulusal-uluslararası belirlenmiş standartlarla karşılaştırılarak ağır metal kirliliğinin boyutlarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda 15 adet toprak örneği alınmış, bu örneklerin arsenik As, kadmiyum Cd, kobalt Co, bakır Cu, nikel Ni ve kurşun Pb içerikleri indüktif olarak eşleştirilmiş plazma-kütle spektrometresi ICP-MS cihazı kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre As içerikleri 2 ile 212,8 mgkg, Cd içerikleri 0,1 ile 0,4 mgkg, Co içerikleri 1,4 ile 19,1 mgkg, Cu içerikleri 5,1 ile 39,6 mgkg, Ni içerikleri 12,4 ile 110,7 mgkg ve Pb içerikleri 7,6 ile 53,2 mgkg arasında bulunmuştur. Analiz sonuçları çalışma alanındaki bazı toprak örneklerinin Avusturya, Belçika, Hollanda, İsviçre, Türkiye ve Dünya Sağlık Örgütüne ait toprakta belirlenen sınır değerlere göre As, Ni ve Pb açısından, üst kıtasal kabuk, dünya toprak ve şeyl gibi jeolojik ortalama değerlere göre ise As, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni ve Pb açısından zenginleştiğini göstermiştir. Bu karşılaştırmaların yanında jeo-birikim indeksi Igeo hesaplamalarına göre ise çalışma alanındaki topraklarda As, Cd, Ni ve Pb kirliliği olduğu belirlenmiştir. Igeo hesaplamalarında Co ve Cu açısından ise belirli alanlarda artış eğilimi olmasına rağmen önemli bir derecede kirlenme gözlenmemiştir.
