Abstract:

 





We investigated the
concentrations of boron, zinc, arsenic, silver, lead, copper, cadmium and
chromium in water, sediment and boron, zinc and arsenic in some wetland plants
(Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, Typha latifolia L., Nasturdium
officinale L., Lemna minor L., Lythrum salicaria L., and Ceratophyllum
demersum L.) of Kocasu Stream and two related ponds in Köprüören, Kütahya.
According to our results, among the eight heavy metals investigated in this
study, arsenic was found at high concentration in sediment (288.66 mg/kg)
whereas boron (903 µg/L) was detected in the highest concentration in water
samples. We also determined that zinc, boron and arsenic concentrations in
plants varied from 70 to 280, 37.6 to 1682.5, and 0.2 to 34 mg/kg dry weight
(DW), respectively. As a result, it was found that C. demersum, L.
minor and N. officinale had the highest accumulation capacity of zinc,
boron and arsenic.

Köprüören,
Kütahya’da bulunan Kocasu Nehri ile bu nehirle bağlantısı bulunan iki göletin
kenarlarında yayılış gösteren bazı sulak alan bitkilerindeki (Phragmites
australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, Typha latifolia L., Nasturdium
officinale L., Lemna minor L., Lythrum salicaria ve Ceratophyllum
demersum L.) bor, çinko ve arsenic miktarları ile su ve sedimentteki bor,
çinko, arsenik, gümüş, kurşun, bakır, kadmiyum ve krom konsantrasyonları
tarafımızdan araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada araştırılan sekiz ağır metal
arasından, arsenik sedimentte yüksek konsantrasyonda bulunurken (288,66 mg/kg),
su numunelerinde en yüksek konsantrasyonda bor 
(903 µg/L) tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bitkideki çinko, bor ve arsenik
konsantrasyonlarının sırasıyla 70-280, 37,6-1682,5 ve 0,2-34 mg/kg kuru ağırlık
arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, C. demersum, L. minor
ve N. officinale’nin en yüksek çinko, bor ve arsenik biriktirme
kapasitesine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur.
