Özet
In this research, samples were taken seasonally from the Tuzla Lagoon and heavy metal (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe) concentrations in the sediment, seston and benthos were measured. The concentrations of heavy metals in the seston, benthos and sediment samples were determined by using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (FLAAS) and Grafite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (GFAAS) after wet digestion method. In recent years, decrease on the amount of local rainfalls, the lack of fresh and seawater sources, sedimentation, agricultural fields around the region, new domestic places and increasing salinity can be thought as the reasons of loosing the ecological balance in the lagoon. Results in this study showed that, in general, maximum bioaccumulation of Zn (2295,06 mu gg(-1)) and Cd (17,06 mu gg(-1)) was detected in seston, Fe (30441,70 mu gg(-1)) and Pb (67,29 mu gg(-1)) in sediment and maximum Cu (72,24 mu gg(-1)) levels were detected in benthos. As the conclusion, changes of detected levels of heavy metals on seston, sediment and benthos are seasonally independent.
