Two complementary analytical techniques, epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with flame and graphite furnace atomization were used to determine 35 elements in the soil samples. Concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined using AAS and GF AAS, and ENAA was used for the remaining 27 elements. Results for As, Ba, Br, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu Eu, Fe, Hf, I, In, K, La, Mn, Mo, Na, Nd, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, U, V and Zn are reported for the first time for soils from this region. The results show that concentrations of most elements were little affected by the industrial and other anthropogenic activities performed in region. Except for distinctly higher levels of Pb, Cu, Cd and Zn in Istanbul district than the median values for the Thrace region, the observed distributions seem to be mainly associated with lithogenic variations. Spatial distributions of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were plotted in relation to the concentration values in soil using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006 ENAA nationallicence GF ASS nationallicence GIS nationallicence heavy-metal contamination nationallicence soil pollution nationallicence surface soils nationallicence thrace nationallicence trace elements nationallicence Turkey nationallicence CoŞKun Mahmut Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut Steinnes Eiliv Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut Frontasyeva Marina Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut Sjobakk Torill Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut Demkina Svetlana Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Kluwer Academic Publishers 119/1-3(2006-08-01), 545-556 0167-6369 119:1-3<545 2006 119 10661 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-005-9042-3 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-005-9042-3 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- CoŞKun Mahmut Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Steinnes Eiliv Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Frontasyeva Marina Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sjobakk Torill Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Demkina Svetlana Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Kluwer Academic Publishers 119/1-3(2006-08-01), 545-556 0167-6369 119:1-3<545 2006 119 10661 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
