Abstract

The ancient city of Phaselis, which is located along gravel, coarse sandy, and sandy beaches, is a popular area visited by thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year, and has been selected as the study area. Sediment samples collected from 57 different locations in the ancient city of Phaselis were analyzed using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer, and the major, trace, and rare earth element contents of the samples were revealed. The heavy metals arsenic (As), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), stronsium (Sr), and zinc (Zn) were used in the pollution index calculations. Distribution maps revealed that heavy metal concentrations reached higher levels, especially in the eastern part of the study area. Therefore, it is recommended to plant rooted macrophytes that can absorb the heavy metals Cr and Ni and perform phytoremediation of the sediment in the region.

图尔基耶安塔利亚法塞利斯古城海滩沉积物中重金属污染的来源鉴定

法塞里斯古城位于砾石滩、粗沙滩和沙滩沿岸，是每年有成千上万国内外游客到访的热门地区，因此被选为研究区域。研究人员使用 X 射线荧光光谱仪（XRF）对从法塞利斯古城 57 个不同地点采集的沉积物样本进行了分析，揭示了样本中主要元素、痕量元素和稀土元素的含量。重金属砷（As）、钴（Co）、铬（Cr）、铜（Cu）、镍（Ni）、铅（Pb）、锡（Sn）、锶（Sr）和锌（Zn）被用于污染指数计算。分布图显示，重金属浓度达到较高水平，尤其是在研究区域的东部。因此，建议在该地区种植能吸收重金属铬和镍的根系大型植物，对沉积物进行植物修复。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Sediment Research, the Official Journal of The International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation and The World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research, publishes scientific and technical papers on all aspects of erosion and sedimentation interpreted in its widest sense. The subject matter is to include not only the mechanics of sediment transport and fluvial processes, but also what is related to geography, geomorphology, soil erosion, watershed management, sedimentology, environmental and ecological impacts of sedimentation, social and economical effects of sedimentation and its assessment, etc. Special attention is paid to engineering problems related to sedimentation and erosion.
