Abstract

The right way to reveal the anthropogenic heavy metal accumulation in sediments is the most important issue in understanding the inorganic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the determination of anthropogenic sourced metal input in sediment and the toxic effect to all the ecosystems is extremely important. To determine these entries and effect, many methods have been developed and lots of limit values have been determined. This study performed aims to demonstrate thetoxic effect and risk values of human induced inorganic pollution moreaccurately, precision and detailed by collecting many different methodstogether. Thus, the most commonly used methods are grouped according to the similarities in the study. Therefore, it was provided to reveal the current situation of the study area the most truest and easilyway by the researchers to select the most appropriate method. In addition,new studies to be carried out, it can be envisaged the time and financial loses to be perevented while providing to plan according to the classifications used here.Keywords: Pollution, Contamination, Contamination factor, Sediment

Sedimentteki Metal Kirliliğini Değerlendiren Yöntemler Üzerine Bir Derleme

Abstract

Sedimentteki insan kaynaklı ağır metal birikiminin doğru şekilde ortaya konması, sucul ekosistemlerdeki inorganik kirliliğin anlaşılmasında en önemli husustur. Bu yüzden sedimentteki antropojenik kaynaklı metal girdisinin belirlenmesi ve bu girdinin başta sucul ekosistemler olmak üzere, tüm ekosistemler üzerinde yarattığı toksik etkinin saptanması son derece önemlidir. Bu girdinin ve etkisinin belirlenmesi için pek çok yöntem geliştirilmiş ve pek çok limit değer belirlenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma pek çok farklı yöntemi bir araya toplayarak, ekosistem üzerinde insan kaynaklı inorganik kirliliğin yarattığı toksik etki ve risk değerlerini daha doğru, hassas ve detaylı bir şekilde ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu sebeple en sık kullanılan yöntemler çalışmada benzerliklerine göre gruplanmıştır. Böylece araştırmacıların çalışmalarında yöntemler arasından kendilerine en uygun olanı rahatlıkla seçerek çalışılan bölgenin mevcut durumunun en doğru ve basit şekilde ortaya koymaları sağlanmıştır. Ayrıca gerçekleştirilecek yeni çalışmalarında, burada kullanılan sınıflandırmalara göre planlanması sağlanarak zaman ve maddi kayıpların engellenebileceği de öngörülmektedir
