An ınvestıgaton on the accumulatıons of makro and mıcro elements on bıotıc and abıotıc components of Felent Stream

Felent Stream is the most important branch of Porsuk Creek. It is used for the purpose such as irrigation water, industrial water supply and also the aquatic system which is under affect factory of Eti Silver Mine. This study was carried out to determine the water quality of Felent Stream according to physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate and COD) and the level of elements (Al, As, B, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ca, K, P, Na, Mg) on biotic (Alburnus orontis ( Sauvage, 1882), Gobio gobio (Linnaeus, 1758), Lemna trisulca L.(Duckweed), Hirudo sp., Gammarus sp. and epipelic diatom frustules) and abiotic (water, sediment) components of Felent Stream. The results were evaluated according to the standarts criteria of SKKY (Water Pollution Control Regulation), TGK (Turkish Food Codex)Keywords: Felent Stream, Mikro and Makro Elements, Water Quality, ICP-OES
