Abstract:
Water and sediment samples taken from Karakaya dam lake have been
analysed for chemical and physical parameters during the four seasons.
Different metal ions such as Fe, Cu, Pb, Mn, Cd, Ca, various
parameters such as NO2--N, NH3-N, PO43-,
organic substance and total filterable residues were determined using
standard reagents kits by HACH DR 2010 spectrophotometer. The obtained
results have been within the acceptable limits of pollution according
to Turkish standards except for nitrite-nitrogen, BOD levels for all
of sampling sites, and pH values in sampling site III.
Key
words:
Heavy metals, dam lake, spectrophotometer, chemical analysis,
environmental pollution.
