ABSTRACT

Heavy metals existing over a limit due to being used industrially or naturally found on
rock, in underground water and soil effects ecological system and human life
negatively. Researchers have developed different methods for the observation of these
metals which influence ecological system and human life. The aim of this study is to
explain the graded extraction method with an example which is one of the analysis
methods used in the detection of ratio of heavy metals (sample: Al, Mn) that are found
in Coastal Sand samples (Tasucu Coastal, South of Turkey). Mn is anthropogenic and
Al is geogenic materials in the study area.
