Ev Tozlarında Ağır Metal Konsantrasyonlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Indoor air quality, an important indicator of public health, affects not only human health but also the quality of life. Therefore, the monitoring and control of outdoor air quality as well as indoor air quality is also important. In this study, results obtained from pollution of heavy metals in household dusts collecting from houses in various points of Ankara were presented by experimental analyses in 2012 year. A total of 47 samples were collected by researchers in predetermined houses throughout Ankara during the period April, 2012 to June, 2012 and analysed for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, V, Zn using the atomic absorption spectrophotometric method after wet digestion. According to the statistical analysis the highest arithmetic means were observed for the elements Mg (8900.34 μg g-1), Fe (4408.57 μg g-1), Zn (449,98 μg g-1) and Cu (104,51 μg g-1).
