Abstract
In this study was determined concentration of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni in Salicornia europaea L. and its growing soil which is naturally distributed in Ayvalık Saltern. Analyses were performed using by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS). Sampling took place between the June 2009 and May 2010 intervals on 8 stations that were determined on the soil barrier surrounding the Saltern. Root, stem and leaves parts of the plant and soil samples collected from the where plant samples were taken regularly from the each station for 12 months. In the S. europaea, Pb and Zn accumulation increased depending on the distance from the road, and a clear relationship was not obtained between Cd, Cu and Ni accumulation.
