Abstract

This study has been conducted to find out the heavy metal pollution of Büyük Menderes River in Aydın. Water samples having been taken from 8 stations of the Buyuk Menderes for 13 years were examined in terms of Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd and Fe. The values were measured as the lowest in the Yenipazar Bridge (10.02±9.86) and the highest in the Sarayköy Bridge (18.46±17.48) for copper; the lowest in the Aydın Bridge (32.07±18.14) and the highest in the Sarayköy Regulator (65.19±55.54) for zinc; the lowest in the Adıgüzel Dam (41.61±35.38) and the highest in the Sarayköy Regulator (148.36±105.02) for manganese; the lowest in the Adıgüzel Dam (4.01±3.96) and the highest in the Yenipazar Bridge (9.95±8.62) for lead; the lowest in the Söke Regulator (2.37±2.18) and the highest in the Sarayköy Bridge (2.61±2.18) for cadmium; the lowest in the Adıgüzel Dam (77.21±72.47) and the highest in the Söke Regulator (330.07±306.24) for iron. Finally, it has been observed that Büyük Menderes River is not under the threat of pollution.
