Abstract

The aim of this study is to carry out lead analysis in the mosses in Giresun-Karagöl plateau and to make an evaluation of the air in the region in terms of lead pollution. For this purpose, 17 moss samples were collected from the region. The species identification of the collected samples was carried out with the help of various flora books and dried in an oven at 850C and samples were sent to Giresun University Central Research Laboratory to be analyzed in an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) device. As a result of the analysis, the average Lead was determined to be 14.47 mg / kg. This average is the average obtained from studies conducted in the lead of cities in Turkey were found to be significantly below. In Turkey, the amount of lead in the samples and performed a comparison with the amounts of lead in studies conducted around the world. The possible effects of the obtained results on the ecosystem and human health were discussed.

Giresun-Karagöl Yaylası Karayosunlarında Kurşun Kirliliğinin Bir İncelemesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Giresun-Karagöl yaylasındaki karayosunlarında kurşun analizi gerçekleştirmek, bölge havasının kurşun kirliliği açısından bir değerlendirilmesini yapmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bölgeden 17 tane karayosunu numunesi toplandı. Toplanan numunelerin tür teşhisleri, çeşitli flora kitapları yardımıyla gerçekleştirildi ve Etüv’de 850C’de kurutuldu ve Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) cihazında analiz edilmesi için Giresun Üniversitesi Merkezi Araştırma Laboratuvarına numuneler gönderildi. Analiz sonucu Kurşun ortalaması 14.47 mg/kg belirlendi. Bu ortalama, Türkiye’de şehir bölgelerindeki yapılan çalışmalardan elde edilen kurşun ortalamalarının oldukça altında olduğu tespit edildi. Numunelerdeki kurşun miktarının Türkiye’de ve Dünyada yapılmış çalışmalardaki kurşun miktarları ile kıyaslaması yapıldı. Elde edilen sonuçların ekosistem ve insan sağlığı üzerindeki muhtemel etkileri tartışıldı.
