Özet

The effect of the North Adrasan, Kumluca wildfire in 2016 on soil element concentrations has been evaluated. Samples were analyzed by neutron activation analysis for As, Ca, Co, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, V, and Zn. The main findings of this study were as follows: (1) Co, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, and Zn were higher in burned soils, (2) Cr (up to 9000 mg kg−1) and Ni (up to 3440 mg kg−1) were the elements that increased the most noticeably in burned soils. The results proposed that wildfires could potentially operate as a source of environmental contamination.
