What is Heavy metal contamination of topsoil in Denizli Organized Industrial Zone, Western Anatolia, Turkey about?

This paper deals with determination of the environmental pollution in Denizli Organized Industrial Zone and its surroundings. Denizli is one of the biggest industrial cities of Turkey hosting several factories with immense production, regularly shipped by a vast haulage system. The study area is traversed by one of the most crowded highways in the country, ensuring the transportation between Western and Central Anatolia. It is also traversed by a railroad connecting Denizli city to Izmir city located on the Aegean Sea coast. Therefore, covering an area of about 30 km 2 , 154 samples were collected to be subject of the magnetic susceptibility measurements end up at highlighting contaminated zones in the study area. The spatial distribution maps plotted for both magnetic susceptibility measurements acquired at high (χ HF ) and low (χ LF ) frequencies showed coherent anomalies following the direction of the roads (east-west). According to the magnetic susceptibility measurements, 40 initial samples were chosen to be chemically analysed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The soil nature was determined by examining 10 supplementary samples collected from the study area. Concentration
