In this
study, heavy metal/trace element accumulation was investigated in soils along
the road passing through Gümüshane city center and shoots of 1-2 years of
acacia trees (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) grown in these soils. Heavy metal
contents in soils and plants were analyzed by Enrichment Factor (EF),
Geo-accumulation index (Igeo) parameters, and by Bio Accumulation Factor (BAF),
respectively. According to geo-accumulation index (Igeo) data, it is seen that
the soil was unpolluted in terms of Cr, Co, Cu, Rb, Sr; unpolluted to
moderately polluted in terms of V, Ni and Zn; moderate to excessively polluted
in terms of As, and moderate to excessively polluted in terms of Pb. According
to EF parameters, on the other hand, it is observed that the soil was non to
slightly enriched in terms of Cr, Co, Sr and Ba; non to moderately enriched in
terms of Ni and Cu; slightly to significantly enriched in terms of Zn;
significant to very highly enriched in terms of As and slightly to over
excessively enriched in terms of Pb. Although trace/heavy metal contents of
acacia shoots were usually within normal values for acacia, it was determined
that Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, Sr and Zn concentrations were within and/or above upper
limits of normal values in certain sampling points.
