Abstract: In this study, the concentrations of cadmium, lead and chrome were determined in soil samples collected in and around the Çorlu District in Tekirdağ (Thrace) province, where industry is highly developed and there are fertile lands for agricultural production. Soil samples collected from 14 agricultural lands have been prepared for analysis through extraction process in a microwave oven. Heavy metal concentrations have been studied through ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry). Additionally, physical and chemical characteristics of the soil have been analysed. Correlation between Cd, Pb and Cr has been specified through physical and chemical analysis results of soil samples and the results obtained have been statistically evaluated. We measure the effects of the physical and chemical characteristics on three different heavy metals using cross sectional regression analysis.
Keywords: heavy metal, lead, cadmium, chrome, cross-section
