Assessment of Heavy Metals Pollution in Water and Sediments and Polychaetes in Sinop Shores of the Black Sea

In this study four Polychaetes species namely Capitella capitata,Nereis zonata, Platynereis dumerilii and Perinereis cultrifera wereselected to evaluate metal pollution in Karakum shores of SinopPeninsula in the southern Black Sea. The Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Znamounts in water, sediment as well as their existence in Polychaeteswere studied to appraise the anthropogenic impact on theirenvironment. Metals concentrations in water were found in thefollowing order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg, whereas the order ofabundance of these metals in sediments were as follow Zn > Cu > Pb> Hg >Cd. There were no differences in heavy metal levels in sedimentbetween seasons. The concentration of metals analysed in thePolychaete species showed same pattern. Zn showed the highestconcentration in all species followed by Cu. The results showed thatthe heavy metal levels in C. capitata were much higher than those inN. zonata, P. dumerilii and P. cultrifera.

Karadeniz'in Sinop Kıyılarında Su, Sediman ve Poliketlerde Ağır Metal Kirliliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Bu çalışmada, Karadeniz'in güneyinde Sinop Yarımadası’nın Karakum kıyılarında metal kirliliğini değerlendirmek için Capitella capitata, Nereis zonata, Platynereis dumerilii ve Perinereis cultrifera olmak üzere dört Poliket türü seçilmiştir. Suda, sedimanda ve Poliketlerde Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu ve Zn miktarları tespit edilerek bunların çevreleri üzerindeki antropojenik etki değerlendirilmiştir. Sudaki metal konsantrasyonları sırasıyla: Zn> Cu> Pb> Cd> Hg olarak, bu metallerin sedimandaki bolluğu ise sırasıyla: Zn> Cu> Pb> Hg> Cd olarak bulunmuştur. Sedimandaki ağır metal seviyesinde mevsimler arasında fark bulunamamıştır. Poliket türlerinde analiz edilen metallerin konsantrasyonu da aynı düzeni göstermiştir. Zn tüm türlerde en yüksek konsantrasyonda bulunurken bunu Cu takip etmiştir. Sonuçlar, C. capitata türündeki ağır metal seviyelerinin N. zonata, P. dumerilii ve P. cultrifera türlerindeki birikimlerinden daha çok olduğunu göstermiştir.
