Total number of 104 canned soft drinks collected from several regions in Turkey were analysed. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of heavy metals in the drinks commonly consumed in Turkey. Quantitative determination of heavy metals: arsenic, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead in all samples was carried out by ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry) method. The mean levels (± SE) of arsenic, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead were found to be 0.037 ± 0.002 mg/kg, 0.070 ± 0.009 mg/kg, 0.143 ± 0.012 mg/kg, 0.005 ± 0.0003 mg/kg, and 0.029 ± 0.002 mg/kg, respectively, in soft drinks. Our data revealed that arsenic, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead mean levels found in all soft drinks, collected from several regions in Turkey, were within the Turkish Food Codex (TFC) values.

Variations in metal concentrations in a heavily polluted stream receiving acidic leachates from an old mine tailings deposit are analysed from a hydrological perspective. From an extensive data material, collected during three years, the variations in concentrations of four metals (copper, zinc, cadmium and lead) are discussed. The deposit is the principal source for these metals in the watershed. The variation in metal concentrations in the vicinity of the deposit can to a large extent be explained by simple dilution of contaminated water with uncontaminated water from the surrounding area. Further downstream the deposit, other processes become increasingly important for the metal concentrations in the water bodies.
