Determination of Heavy Metal Contents of Hypericum scabrum L., Achillea vermicularis Trin, Anchusa azurea Miller var. azurea Gard. Dict. Plants Around Bitlis Solid Waste Landfill

Abstract

At present, it is very important to use hyperaccumulator plants to clean soils contaminated with heavy metals (phytoremediation method) and to identify plants with this characteristic. In this work, it is studied to detect the ability of accumulating heavy metal (hyperacumulator) of some plants in their bodies. The area around the Solid Waste Integrated Disposal Facility located within the boundaries of Güroymak district of Bitlis Province selected and Hypericum scabrum L., Achillea vermicularis Trin, Anchusa azurea Miller. azurea Gard. Dict. naturally grown samples were collected from this area. Soil samples taken from the area where these plants grow with on the basis of the contents of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated. Heavy metal analyzes were performed using ICP-MS.

Bitlis Katı Atık Tesisi Çevresindeki Hypericum scabrum L., Achillea vermicularis Trin, Anchusa azurea Miller var. azurea Gard. Dict. Bitkilerinin Ağır Metal İçeriklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Son yıllarda ağır metaller ile kirlenen toprakların temizlenmesinde (fitoremediasyon) hiperakümülatör bitkilerin kullanılması ve bu özelliğe sahip bitkilerin tespit edilmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada bazı bitkilerin bünyelerinde ağır metal biriktirebilme yetenekleri (hiperakümülatör) tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma alanı olarak Bitlis İli Güroymak ilçesi sınırları içerisinde bulunan Katı Atık Entegre Bertaraf Tesisi çevresi seçilmiş ve  bu alandan doğal olarak yetişen Hypericum scabrum L., Achillea vermicularis Trin, Anchusa azurea Miller var. azurea Gard. Dict. türlerine ait örnekler toplanmıştır. Bu bitkilerinin yetiştiği alandan alınan toprak numuneleri ile kök, gövde, yaprak ve çiçek gibi kısımlarına ayrılan bu bitkiler üzerinde çalışılarak,  Ca,  Mg, Fe, Mn,  Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni ve Cd elementlerinin konsantrasyonları incelenmiştir. Ağır metal analizleri ICP-MS cihazı kullanılarak yapılmıştır.
