Özet
The aim of the present research was to determine the trace metal accumulations in water, soil and Mentha piperita samples irrigated with three different water regimes. The analysis was conducted by AAS. Metal concentrations in water samples ranged from 0.84 to 1.67, 0.42 to 0.72, 0.45 to 0.85, 2.51 to 9.99, 1.21 to 1.92, 1.82 to 9.98 and 0.64 to 0.91 mg/kg for Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn and Mn, respectively. Concentrations in soil samples were determined as 0.79, 0.166, 0.218, 10.01, 0.46, 1.34 and 0.34 mg/kg for Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn and Mn, respectively. Accumulations in M. piperita samples ranged from 0.48 to 1.06, 0.11 to 0.35, 0.15 to 0.29, 1.43 to 8.39, 0.39 to 0.54, 2.1 to 3.05 and 0.42 to 0.47 mg/kg, respectively. The metal accumulation in plant samples was lower than the permissible limits except for Cd.
