Determination of heavy metal risk and their enrichment factor in intensive cultivated soils of Tokat Province

Abstract: Heavy metal contamination has caused serious environmental and health-related problems around the world. This research was conducted in arable lands of some basins located on Tokat province. The aim of this present study was to determine I-) some physico-chemical properties of soils, ii-) to find heavy metal (HM) content and their enrichment factor (EF) and iii-) to detect relationship between some physico-chemical properties and HM concentration. To identify the concentrations and sources of heavy metals, 280… Show more

“…However, Ni content slightly exceeded the MPC in some samples. The noted high concentration for heavy metals such as Ni, Co and Cr was in line with previous studies (Bayraklı & Dengiz, 2019;Kars & Dengiz, 2020). Such characteristics of the heavy metals are associated with the nature of parent material as reported by Chen et al (2005), the Ni concentration in volcanic rocks is 20-40 times greater as compared to other ones.…”

“…Given that the region was not studied in view of the impact of the long-term mining as well the agricultural practices on soil properties, it can be stated that the present pioneering study may play an important role in future environmental studies. Thus, the determination of background levels of heavy metals is an important approach to prevent environmental pollution and physiological disorders in plant and grazing animals, and to establish an initial or modified threshold levels for studying heavy metal concentrations (Kabata-Pendias, 2011;Bayraklı & Dengiz, 2019). Furthermore, the basic soil properties, such as texture (clay), pH, organic matter, carbonates and salinity significantly affect the concentrations and availability of heavy metals in the soil (Omran, 2016;Kars & Dengiz, 2020;Lasota et al.…”

“…Therefore, in parallel to evaluating the impact of crop-specific agricultural practices, we assessed the degree of heavy metals accumulation in soil using various indices frequently applied in monitoring and assessing harmful contaminants in different environmental media. In this study, we used Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI) [36][37][38], singlefactor Pollution Index (PI), Nemerow's comprehensive pollution index (PIN) [39,40], Enrichment Factor (EF), and Geo-Accumulation Index (Igeo) [37,41,42], which are described in details in the corresponding subchapters.…”

“…The scale of the classes for PI and PIN are shown in Table 2. The Enrichment Factor (EF) is another commonly applied index to assess the degree of contamination in different environmental media [37,41,42]. It is used to determine the trend of geochemical characteristics at a local or regional scale.…”
