Abstract

The study area is located in Çorum G34 a3 and a4 section in GümüÅŸhacıköy (Amasya). 17 samples of Euphorbia cyparissias plant grown in this region and related soil samples were collected and analyzed. The metal content of the investigated soil samples is as follows: Fe > Zn > As > Mn > Pb > Cu > Sb > Cr >> Ag > Ni > Co > Cd. The soil pH controlling the metal transfer in the soil, the pH values of the examined soil samples are between 4.66 and 8.22. This range indicates that the soil samples are in acidic and basic conditions. Metal pollution (toxicity) due to increased mining activities may affect the environment and public health. The correlation coefficient was a strong positive correlation between Ni with Co and Ag, As with Sb (0.89); Ni (0.88) and Cu (0.86), Pb with Co (0.84), Cu (0.81), Ni (0.85) and Sb (0.81), Ni with Cu (0.81) and Sb (0.86), while there is a negative correlation between Mn with Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Sb and Pb, and Fe with Cd, Co, Cr, Ni and Pb. The bioaccumulation factor (BAC) values of Euphorbia cyparissias have been found between not accumulate— high accumulator or hyperaccumulator plants in both root/soil and leaf/soil. The translocation factors (TF) of all metals (10 in location), Cr and Ni (3 in location), Co, Cu, Mn and Zn in the (9 in location), Ni (11 in location), and Cd, Co, Cr, and Ni values (16 in location) are less than 1. TF values calculated outside these locations are greater than 1. TF values greater than 1 showed that the metal concentration in the leaves was higher than the roots. 

Keywords: Euphorbia cyparissias; Translocation; Bioaccumulation; Metal pollution (toxicity).
