Trace/Heavy Metal Accumulation In Soil And In The Shoots Of Acacia Tree, Gümüfihane-Turkey, Alaaddin Vural
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
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
(Robiniapseudoacacia 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 …
