| Özet |
| In several countries around the world, abandoned mining sites are blighted by pollution from metal and metalloids. Generated by mining processes, toxic pollutants have lasting effects on the ecosystem. The study examined the environmental impact of waste from a copper mine that was operated by the Caucasus Copper Limited Company between 1905 and 1928, revised and commissioned by Etibank in 1936, and ceased operations 75 years ago. Soil and plant samples (needles of Scotch pine, Pinus sylvestris L.) were collected from five specific regions around the mine and the levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were determined, including As, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Mn, Cr, Cu, Al, and Fe. The data obtained were used to calculate the enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (CF), ecological risk index (ERI), human health risk index (BCF), and plant enrichment factor (EFPlant … |
