Effect of Industrialization on Soil Heavy Metal Concenttarions in İzmit (KOCAELİ) Regions

Abstract

During the last few decades, due to rapid industrialization and resulted urbanization, Izmit area is subject to anthropogenically induced heavy metal pollution. The main potential pollution sources are industrial emission, vehicle exhaust and waste incineration plant. This study was conducted to investigate the suspected heavy metal contamination of top soil in the vicinity of industries around Izmit. 16 cites were sampled at 0-10 cm depth and investigated for their heavy metal (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Se) abundances that are environmentally sensitive. Soils were also sampled in the suspected unpolluted area to understand the baseline conditions. The results indicate the urban soils in Izmit, locally, have elevated concenrations of Cu, Zn, Ni and Co. Other elements abundances are under the limit values. Comprison of Izmit soil with other industrialized city soils revealed that, in general Izmit area has not yet polluted, but also indicate elevated Cu and Zn consantrations. The present study should be regarded as an indication of detail investigations and such studies should be repeated, at least every five years.
