Abstract
Soil is a crucial component of rural and urban environments. Urban soils in Çankırı have a high potential impact on soil quality. To date, little research on soil pollution has been conducted in Çankırı's urban parks has been conducted. To identify the concentrations and sources of heavy metals in soil, and to assess the soil environmental quality, samples were collected from 10 urban parks soils and different time located in the city of Çankırı (total 90 soil samples). The concentrations of B, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analyzed in the samples using an ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). The mean concentrations (mg/l) were Mn>Fe>Zn>Cu>Ni>Pb>B>Cd>Cr. Considering the heavy metal concentrations obtained in the study, all of these values were found below the acceptable However, in some parks of the study area, some elements were also slightly raised, the transported soils in urban parks should be handled carefully and to avoid an environmental hazard of these heavy metals.
