Abstract
Abstract
Sediment samples collected from twelve different notes of the Karacaören II Dam Lake were analysed for seasonal metal pollution in this study. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to measure the amount of metal in soil samples. Metal concentrations found in the sediments were used to generate the geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor expressions. The results were compared seasonally to values at the local, state, and international levels. Copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, nickel, chromium, and mercury element content ratios (in ppm) measured in sediments in all seasons were determined to be 42–96, 53–78, 11–14, 4–7, 233–244, and 611–711, respectively. The elemental content of the sediments and their contamination levels are also discussed.
