Heavy Metal Accumulation in Wetland Plants and Water-Sediment Relationship in Köprüören-Kütahya

Abstract

We investigated the concentrations of boron, zinc, arsenic, silver, lead, copper, cadmium and chromium in water, sediment and boron, zinc and arsenic in some wetland plants (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, Typha latifolia L., Nasturdium officinale L., Lemna minor L., Lythrum salicaria L., and Ceratophyllum demersum L.) of Kocasu Stream and two related ponds in Köprüören, Kütahya. According to our results, among the eight heavy metals investigated in this study, arsenic was found at high concentration in sediment (288.66 mg/kg) whereas boron (903 µg/L) was detected in the highest concentration in water samples. We also determined that zinc, boron and arsenic concentrations in plants varied from 70 to 280, 37.6 to 1682.5, and 0.2 to 34 mg/kg dry weight (DW), respectively. As a result, it was found that C. demersum, L. minor and N. officinale had the highest accumulation capacity of zinc, boron and arsenic.

Köprüören-Kütahya’da Yayılış Gösteren Sulak Alan Bitkileri Tarafından Ağır Metal Akümülasyonu ve Su-Sediment İlişkisi

Abstract

Köprüören, Kütahya’da bulunan Kocasu Nehri ile bu nehirle bağlantısı bulunan iki göletin kenarlarında yayılış gösteren bazı sulak alan bitkilerindeki (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, Typha latifolia L., Nasturdium officinale L., Lemna minor L., Lythrum salicaria ve Ceratophyllum demersum L.) bor, çinko ve arsenic miktarları ile su ve sedimentteki bor, çinko, arsenik, gümüş, kurşun, bakır, kadmiyum ve krom konsantrasyonları tarafımızdan araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada araştırılan sekiz ağır metal arasından, arsenik sedimentte yüksek konsantrasyonda bulunurken (288,66 mg/kg), su numunelerinde en yüksek konsantrasyonda bor
(903 µg/L) tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bitkideki çinko, bor ve arsenik konsantrasyonlarının sırasıyla 70-280, 37,6-1682,5 ve 0,2-34 mg/kg kuru ağırlık arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, C. demersum, L. minor ve N. officinale’nin en yüksek çinko, bor ve arsenik biriktirme kapasitesine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur.
