Investigation Of The Origin Of Heavy Metals In Stream Sediments And Soils And Risk Factors For Human Health In Haydar Daği (Bozkir-Konya) Region.

The study area, Haydar Mountain (Bozkır-Konya), is located in the western part of the Central Taurus Mountains and the southern part of the Konya plain, in the southern part of Konya province. The study area is approximately 70 km2 wide. In the study; It was aimed to investigate the origin of heavy metals in derecum and soils and their risk factors for human health in old mining areas in the Haydar Mountain (Bozkır-Konya) region, located in the western part of the Central Taurus Mountains and the southern part of the Konya plain. In the structural classification of Turkey, the Taurus Mountains are located within the Anatolide-Tauride Platform/Anatolide-Tauride Block and are classified as Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic platform carbonates, Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic volcano-sedimentary and epiclastic rocks, their metamorphic rock equivalents, Creataceous ophiolite and ophiolitic mélange. It is stated that it contains nappe system series containing Late Cretaceous and younger post-collisional sedimentary and magmatic/volcanic rocks. Systematic random sampling in the study area 10 samples were compiled from 11 selected soils and rocks at the same points. The chemical analysis results of the samples taken were evaluated using statistical methods. Accumulation indices, which are mostly used for heavy metal accumulations, were preferred and the amount of pollution and controlling events were tried to be defined. According to the accumulation index values calculated based on the data obtained, it was determined that there was pollution and accumulation in the region at T2, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8 and T9 points in terms of Pb, Zn, Cd and Hg. In addition, in terms of its effect on adults and children in the Health Risk Assessment, T2-T4-T5-T6-T7-T8-T9 points are considered risky according to the results of mainly ingestion (ADDing) and partly Dermal Contact (ADDder). has been detected. It is thought that there is anthropogenic contamination in terms of Pb, Zn, Cd and Hg in the study area. In addition, the content of the lithologies in the region in terms of Pb, Zn, Cd and Hg It has been concluded that geogenic factors are also a factor at these points.
