Macro and Trace Element Levels of Green Algae Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 From Dardanelles (Çanakkale/Turkey)

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution is one of the important pollution causes for water resources in the world. Algae can be used as an indicator species for the accumulation of heavy metals. Therefore, macro (Na, K, Mg, P, Ca, B) and trace element (Co, Cd, Cr,Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn) values were analyzed by ICP-OES in the species in our study. In this study, we aimed to determine the element concentrations of Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 macroalgae collected from Dardanelles (Çanakkale-Turkey) coastal area (40°14'27.03"N 26°32'29.74"E during summer season in 2018. Elemental concentrations of C. fragile were determined as following order: Na>Ca>Mg>K>Fe>P>Mn>Pb>B>Zn>Cu>Ni>Cr>Co=Mo=Cd respectively in our study. We also found the Cd, Co and Mo elements below the limit values. In C.fragile, macro elements values were higher than the trace elements values. Fe is the most common trace element after macro elements in all algae samples. Fe trace element is followed by Mn and Pb elements. We think that high metal concentrations in the Dardanelles affect the water quality negatively and may pose a threat to the living creatures living there, and we believe that serious measures should be taken to reduce continuous input in the Dardanelles, which has high shipping and tourism potential.

Yeşil Alg Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 (Çanakkale/Türkiye)’in Makro ve İz Element Düzeyleri

Abstract

Ağır metal kirliliği, dünyadaki su kaynaklarının önemli kirlilik nedenlerinden biridir. Algler ağır metaller birikimi bakımından indikatör tür olarak kullanılabilir. Bundan dolayı çalışmadaki türümüzde makro (Na, K, Mg, P, Ca, B) ve eser elementlerin (Co, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn ) değerleri ICP-OES ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, Çanakkale (Çanakkale-Türkiye) kıyı alanından (40 ° 14'27.03 "K 26 ° 32'29.74" D) 2018 yılı yaz sezonunda toplanan Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 (Cholorophyta) makroalg örneklerinin elementel konsantrasyonunu belirlemeyi amaçladık. Codium fragile elementel konsantrasyonları sırasıyla aşağıdaki gibi belirlenmiştir: Na> Ca> Mg > K> Fe> P> Mn> Pb> B> Zn> Cu> Ni> Cr> Co = Mo = Cd. Ayrıca Cd, Co ve Mo elementlerini sınır değerlerin altında bulduk. C.fragile alginde makro elementler eser elementlerden daha fazla miktarlarda bulunmuştur. Fe, tüm alg örneklerindeki makro elementlerden sonra en yaygın bulunan eser element olarak belirlenmiştir. Fe iz elementini Mn ve Pb elementleri takip etmiştir. Çanakkale Boğazı'ndaki yüksek metal konsantrasyonlarının su kalitesini olumsuz etkilediğini ve orada yaşayan canlılar için tehdit oluşturabileceğini düşünüyor, denizcilik ve turizm potansiyeli yüksek Çanakkale Boğazı'nda sürekli girdiyi azaltmak için ciddi önlemler alınması gerektiğine inanıyoruz.
