Özet
The aim of this study
was to reveal the effects of domestic dumpsite on the some soil chemical
properties in the surface soils in Kastamonu city. The soil samples were
collected from the 5 different distances namely; Very adjacent (VA), Adjacent (A), Middle (M),
Far (F) and Very far (VF). The
results showed that the accumulation of heavy metal in the soil varied
significantly with the distances. Among the heavy metals, the concentrations of
Co, Cr, Cu (only A and VA), Zn (only A and VA), Ni (except for M) exceeded the
Maximum Allowable Limit (MAL) for Turkey values. However, the concentrations of
Mo, Pb and Cd were below the MAL limit values. When all results are considered,
it can be stated that the waste dumpsites can negatively affect the environment.
Therefore, we make sure that the dumped materials should be concentrated and
recycled in order to decrease the amount of heavy metals in the dumpsites and
in the soils around the dumpsites. In addition, phytoremediation, which is all the
remediation technique available for metal contaminated soils, is the most costly,
environmentally friendly and easy to apply. Phytoremediation can be used to
remove, displace or reduce contaminants from soil by using plants that
hyperaccumulate these contaminants.
