TI  - A NEW WAY OF USING THE SPIDER DIAGRAM METHOD IN HEAVY METAL POLLUTION STUDIES FOR NEAR-SURFACE GEOPHYSICS AND
THE OTHER EARTH SCIENCES
AB  - In this study, a new way of using the Spider Diagram (SD) method has been shown in the investigation of the pollution spread and pollutant species caused by heavy metal-containing leachate in soil ground. Thus, it has been shown that this method can be used in conjunction with the results of earth science studies and its contribution to interpretation was emphasized. Because today, heavy metals in leachate water are an important environmental problem. It was determined that SD and geophysical methods could be used together in studies investigating this pollution. The heavy metal-containing leachate may contaminate the agricultural/non-agricultural soils/grounds or underground/surface waters by spreading in the permeable geological unit. This pollution spread and pollutant species can be analyzed by geochemistry (soil samples) studies. In addition, the horizontal-vertical boundaries of this pollution and the direction of pollution can be determined by geophysical methods. The results of soil analysis can also be interpreted using the SD method. However, it has been determined that this method can be used to interpret with geophysical results. This comparison has been found to contribute to the geophysical results in interpretation and it has been observed that it strengthens the geological interpretations. As a result, it is shown that SD method is a method that allows evaluating a large number of data in a short time and it can be used together with earth science methods. If these methods are used together in heavy metal pollution investigations, it has been shown whether the pollution in the soil is caused by the leachate or the bedrock unit, and in addition, whether the underground and surface water resources in the region are under the threat of pollution caused by leachate. It was thought that such a study would also be useful in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies.
