Pollution Analysis with Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements in Denizli, Turkey

It was showed the relation between the contents of heavy metals and the magnetic susceptibility and the distributions of the pollutions in the surface soil in part of Denizli, Turkey. We saw the pollution sources and distributions dimensions which are one of the most important environmental threats. Distributions of heavy metal pollution in the area were tried to show by using 111 field measurements, 111 field samples and 50 near road samples. It was used showing the distribution of heavy metallic elements deposited from exhaust gases and fumes chimney in area near the high way and around. Figure1 shows that the dot shows the position of magnetic susceptibility samples points, the contour maps of low and high magnetic susceptibility and frequency dependent and it is given that the contour maps of Cr and Pb, the dots shows the position of samples in Figure 2. It was showed the pollutant distributions after mapping the data of magnetic susceptibility and showed their sources to assess environmental threats. Magnetic susceptibility method is cheaper and less time-consuming against chemical methods. We showed that it is enough only using magnetic susceptibility measurements could provide heavy metal pollution distribution in residential areas.
