ABSTRACT
The environmental risk
of Chromium (Cr) pollution is pronounced in soils adjacent to
chromate industry. It is important to investigate the functioning
of soil microorganisms in ecosystems exposed to long-term contamination
by Cr. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Cr
on carbon mineralization in soil. The study was carried out in
soils contaminated and uncontaminated with Cr near and away from
a Cr mine in three different districts (Bozluk,
Kızılyüksek and Yanıkçam)
of East Mediterranean Region, Turkey. Carbon mineralization were
determined in soils humidified 80% of field capacity at 28°C
over 30 days under the same laboratory conditions. These results
showed that carbon mineralization was greatly inhibited by the
presence of Cr in all contaminated sites. Based on these results,
microbial activity can use as an indicator for the Cr pollution
level in the soil ecosystems.
Keywords: Carbon mineralization; chromium; contamination; soil microorganisms;
toxic effect
ABSTRAK
Risiko alam sekitar
bagi pencemaran kromium (Cr) boleh dilihat pada tanah
bersebelahan dengan
industri kromat. Ia adalah penting untuk mengkaji kefungsian mikroorganisma tanah dalam ekosistem
yang sudah terdedah
kepada pencemaran jangka lama terhadap Cr. Tujuan kajian ini
adalah untuk
menentukan kesan Cr pada mineralisasi karbon dalam tanah.
Kajian
ini dijalankan pada tanah yang tercemar dan tidak
tercemar dengan
Cr yang berhampiran dan jauh dari lombong
Cr di tiga daerah
(Bozluk, Kızılyüksek dan Yanıkçam) di kawasan Mediterranean Timur, Turki. Pemineralan karbon ditentukan
dalam tanah
yang dilembapkan pada 80% had basah tanih pada
suhu 28°C selama 30 hari pada keadaan makmal
yang sama. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa
mineralisasi karbon
sangat terencat dengan kehadiran Cr pada semua kawasan
yang tercemar. Berdasarkan hasil
ini, aktiviti
mikrob boleh digunakan
sebagai penunjuk
tahap pencemaran Cr dalam ekosistem tanah.
Kata kunci: Kesan
toksik; kromium;
