In this study, it was aimed to determine the heavy metal pollution in the agricultural lands
around Hatay airport and travel possible alteration in the amount of heavy metal on the land in
accordance with the distance to the airport. For this purpose, the airport was chosen as the
center and 27 soil samples were obtained around the airport at 2 km intervals in depth ranging
from 0 to 30 cm. Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), chrome (Cr), cobalt (Co), aluminium
(Al), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) elements in soil samples were
analysed using MP-AES instrument by DTPA method. (3 repetition for each sample). As a
result of the analysis, heavy metal concentrations were found as Pb 0-1.45 mg/kg, Cd 0-0.220
mg/kg, Ni 0-3.95 mg/kg, Cr 0-0.780 mg/kg, Co 0-0.270 mg/kg, Al 0-0.700 mg/kg, Fe 1.47-
16.2 mg/kg, Cu 0.400-5.35 mg/kg, Mn 0-19 mg/kg and Zn 0.050-3.14 mg/kg. When
comparing the obtained data through this study with allowable concentrations of heavy metals
in soil of Environment and Forest Directorates Guidance, it was determined that the heavy
metal concentration of the soil does not pose any problems in terms of heavy metal pollution.
Besides, iron concentration was decreased when the distance to the airport is increased.
