    Data analysis of the Gumusler Dam Lake Reservoir soils using multivariate statistical methods (Nigde, Turkiye)
    (Springer, 2023) Tumuklu, A.; Sunkari, E. Daanoba; Yalcin, F.; Atakoglu, O. Ozer
    Heavy metal accumulation in aquatic environments is a global problem as it affects the quality of sediments and aquatic life. Therefore, this study examines the geochemical composition of heavy metals and their relationships, as well as their sources by applying multivariate statistical techniques to the geochemical content of the soil in the Gumusler Dam in central Turkey. The area is dominated by Paleozoic to Quaternary-aged igneous and metamorphic rocks. Average concentrations of all the major elements in terms of their abundance in descending order are as follows: SiO2, CaO, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, K2O, TiO2, MnO, and Na2O. This suggests that SiO2 is the dominant major element in the soils. The contents of heavy metals have been found to vary in the following order: Strong positive correlations have been found among the following major elements: SiO2, CaO, MgO, TiO2, Ni, Rb, Pb, Zn, and As. According to the result of the principal component analysis using the extraction criterion, six factors were found to have an eigenvalue > 1, and they were found to explain 81.854% of the total variance of the dataset. All these factors reveal that the lithogenic effect and base metal mineralization are the two main sources of heavy metals in the sediments. Also, the results of the factor analysis were confirmed by hierarchical cluster analysis, which also yielded four clusters with similar element clusters. Regression analysis also confirmed that the host rocks and base metal mineralization in the area directly affect the sediment geochemistry in the dam.

    Detection of heavy metal concentrations in soil caused by Nigde city garbage dump
    (HARD, 2007) Tumuklu, A.; Yalcin, M. G.; Sonmez, M.
    The aim of this study was to detect heavy metal concentrations in the creek which passes through Nigde city garbage dump. In this respect, the soil samples collected in the study area by GPS were analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer. Traces of heavy metals were observed by using statistical programs on analysis results. Geological observations were taken into consideration. According to the heavy metal concentrations in the Creek, the maximum values were as follows; (mg/ kg) Ti: 4960, V: 520, Cr: 120, Mn: 8 10, Ni: 460, Cu: 4 10, Zn: 100 and Pb: 480. The concentration levels of heavy metals in soil caused by garbage dump are listed in the following order; Pb > Cu > V > Ti > Cr > Ni > Zn. High positive correlation were observed between Ti-Mn, V-Ni and Cr-Ni. Medium positive correlations were observed between V-Cr, V-Cu and Ni-Zn. It has been found by chemical analysis data collected from stations established throughout the creek that there is an effect of morphological structure and no geological anomaly has been formed. According to chemical analysis results, statistical programs give important accuracy. Heavy metals, which give anomaly, differ throughout the creek. The source of these heavy metals was determined as Nigde city garbage dump. For this reason, it was suggested that, in order to refine the study area, a modem, organized storage system must be used instead of wild storage system in storing the urban wastes, and recyclable products must be used in the industry.
