Abstract

Water samples taken from thirteen different stations and from three streams in İzmit Gulf where the pollution is very high have been investigated with Atomic Absorption Spectrometre for heavy metal (Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, As and Hg) concentrations. From the data obtained, Hereke has been observed to have the highest heavy metal concentration in the area, but Gölcük is safe. Despite this, each station contains various heavy metal concentration levels. At the end of this study, it has been determined that heavy metal concentration is higher in deep waters than the surface of the water.
