Abstract

Abstract In the present study, the ecological risk assessment of metal contamination in beach sediments along the Mersin coast was determined using the metal contents of beach sediments in Mersin, Kızkalesi, Susanoğlu and Taşucu region obtained between 2006 and 2009. Furthermore, the potential health risk assessment for ingestion and dermal contact pathways of adults and children was determined. Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals showed that there is no pollution in the beach sediments for the metals Cu, Pb and Zn for the all studied coasts. However, the high ecological risk indices calculated in this study strongly suggested an apparent Cd, Cr and Ni pollution in the studied beach sediments due to natural and anthropogenic contamination. Study findings indicated the HI values were greater than 1 for the metal Cr. The TCR values were higher than 1.00E-04 for the metals Cr and Ni calculated for adults, and for the metal Cu, Cr and Ni calculated for children, respectively. All these findings showed that there is a high carcinogenic risk for adults and children resident in the Mersin province from carcinogenic Cr and Ni whilst the studied coasts have additional health risks to children from carcinogenic Cu.

土耳其梅尔辛海岸沙滩沉积物的金属污染状况和健康风险评估

摘要在本研究中，利用 2006 年至 2009 年期间获得的梅尔辛、克兹卡莱西、苏萨诺奥卢和塔苏库地区海滩沉积物中的金属含量，确定了梅尔辛沿海海滩沉积物中金属污染的生态风险评估。此外，还确定了成人和儿童摄入和皮肤接触途径的潜在健康风险评估。重金属生态风险评估显示，在所有研究的海岸中，海滩沉积物中的金属铜、铅和锌没有受到污染。然而，本研究计算出的高生态风险指数强烈表明，由于自然和人为污染，所研究的海滩沉积物中明显存在镉、铬和镍污染。研究结果表明，金属铬的 HI 值大于 1。以成人计算的金属铬和镍的 TCR 值高于 1.00E-04，以儿童计算的金属铜、铬和镍的 TCR 值高于 1.00E-04。所有这些结果表明，居住在梅尔辛省的成人和儿童面临致癌物质铬和镍的高致癌风险，而所研究的沿海地区的儿童则面临致癌物质铜的额外健康风险。
