Heavy metal levels of drinking water in Bitlis province

Year 2012, Volume: 28 Issue: 3, 164 - 171, 01.09.2012

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to detect some heavy metal levels of drinking water in Bitlis city. Materials and Methods: A total of 164 water samples, collected from the tank and tap water of Bitlis and its provinces in autumn and spring were used as material. Element analysis (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb and Co) was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer.Results: According to the results, the mean levels of Fe (6.67 µg/L), Mn (3.88 µg/L), Cu (7.52 µg/L), Zn (28.2 µg/L) and Cd (2.58 µg/L) were found to be in conformity with the drinking water standards. However, the mean levels of Pb (spring: 68.4 µg/L; autumn: 47.0 µg/L) and Co (spring: 44.2 µg/L; autumn: 11.9 µg/L) in both seasons, and Ni levels only in spring (40.1 µg/L) were higher than the related regulations. The effects of season on Fe, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb and Co levels were found statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Considering the overall situation of the region and research findings, it is very important to the protection of existing water sources and routinely run water quality analysis, especially in drinking water in terms of public health.

Bitlis ili içme sularında ağır metal düzeyleri

Year 2012, Volume: 28 Issue: 3, 164 - 171, 01.09.2012

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Bitlis ili içme sularının bazı ağır metal düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Sonbahar ve ilkbahar mevsimlerinde il merkezi ve ilçelerdeki depo ve musluk sularından alınan toplam 164 örnek materyal olarak kullanıldı. Element analizleri (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb ve Co) alevli atomik absorbsiyon spektrofotometresinde yapıldı. Bulgular: Analiz sonuçlarına göre ortalama Fe (6.67 µg/L), Mn (3.88 µg/L), Cu (7.52 µg/L), Zn (28.2 µg/L) ve Cd (2.58 µg/L) düzeyleri içme suyu standartlarında bildirilen kriterlere uygun bulundu. Ancak, ortalama Pb (ilkbahar: 68.4 µg/L; sonbahar: 47.0 µg/L) ve Co (ilkbahar: 44.2 µg/L; sonbahar: 11.9 µg/L) düzeyleri her iki mevsimde, Ni düzeyi ise sadece ilkbahar (40.1 µg/L) mevsiminde standart değerlerin üstünde tespit edildi. İncelenen örneklerde Fe, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb ve Co düzeyleri üzerine mevsimin etkisi istatistiksel olarak önemli bulundu (p<0.05). Öneri: Bölgenin genel durumu ve araştırma bulguları dikkate
alındığında, mevcut su kaynaklarının korunması ve içme suyu başta olmak üzere su kalite analizlerinin rutin olarak yapılması toplum sağlığı açısından önem taşımaktadır.
