Özet:

 In this study, it was aimed to determine the traffic and agricultural activity-induced heavy metal including arsenic As, cadmium Cd, cobalt Co, chromium Cr and lead Pb pollution of sugar beet plants Beta Vulgaris grown along the Erzincan-Erzurum D100-25 highway and to reveal the possible change in the amount of heavy metals in sugar beet plants depending on distance to the highway. For this purpose, sugar beet plants were collected from 5 points of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 meters away from the highway and heavy metal levels of the samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ICP-MS. The results showed that sugar beet plants were contaminated with various heavy metals such as Cr 585.5-2687.8 µg kg-1  Co 143.4-500.7 µg kg-1  Pb 52.1-476.7 µg kg-1  As 9.1-112.4 µg kg-1  Cd 4.4-65.2 µg kg-1 depending on the distance from the highway. It was determined that heavy metal pollution levels in sugar beet plants decreased with distance from the motorway and there was a high correlation As: 0.977; Cd: 0.944; Co: 0.995; Cr: 0.989 and Pb: 0.999 between distance and heavy metal content.

 Bu çalışmada, Erzincan-Erzurum D100-25 karayolu boyunca yetişen şeker pancarı bitkisinin trafik ve tarımsal faaliyet kaynaklı arsenik As, kadmiyum Cd, kobalt Co, krom Cr ve kurşun Pb gibi ağır metal kirliliğinin belirlenmesi ve şeker pancarı bitkisindeki ağır metal miktarının karayoluna olan mesafeye bağlı olarak olası değişiminin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, şeker pancarı bitkileri otoyoldan 10, 20, 30, 40 ve 50 metre uzaklıktaki 5 noktadan toplanmış ve örneklerdeki ağır metal seviyeleri indüktif eşleşmiş plazma kütle spektrometresi ICP-MS ile belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, şeker pancarı bitkilerinin otoyoldan uzaklığa bağlı olarak Cr 585.5-2687.8 µg kg-1  Co 143.4-500.7 µg kg-1  Pb 52.1-476.7 µg kg-1  As 9.1-112.4 µg kg-1  Cd 4.4-65.2 µg kg-1 gibi çeşitli ağır metallerle kirlendiğini göstermiştir. Şeker pancarı bitkilerindeki ağır metal kirlilik seviyelerinin otoyola olan mesafe ile azaldığı ve mesafe ile ağır metal içeriği arasında yüksek bir korelasyon As: 0.977; Cd: 0.944; Co: 0.995; Cr: 0.989 ve Pb: 0.999 olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
