Description
Summary:The research to determine levels metal pollution in the years 203-04 was conducted. The samples were obtained from factory gardens, areas experiencing heavy traffic and residential areas. The changes in analysis results of heavy metal levels in the samples were discussed for sampling years and sampling places in both grass and soil samples. The results of the study showed that heavy metal contents in both soil and grass samples were higher in 2004 than in 2003. Some heavy metal content in the samples obtained in areas with heavy traffic and in factory garden areas was over the limit levels and represented a risk for humans.
