Abstract :Soil samples in Moryayla village located 156 km northeast of Erzurum and Cu mineralization area around it were collected randomly. In these samples, 20 samples were taken in order to investigate the metals found and the pollution limits of these metals and the sources that cause this pollution. The geochemical analyzes (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Fe) of the collected soil samples were made and evaluated with the pollution parameters. In the calculation of these parameters, enrichment factor (EF); geoaccumulation index (Igeo); contamination factor (CF) and pollution load indices (PLI) were used by using average shale values and crust values. Statistically obtained Cu values were calculated as minimum 25.2 ppm, maximum 79.7 ppm and average 45.2. Among the statistically analyzed elements; A high positive correlation was observed between Cd and Pb and Zn, Cr with Ni and Pb and Zn (p <0.01). It has been observed that the average values of Cu, Fe and Pb metals are higher than the world average shale values, while the metal values of Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn are lower. In the work area according to the values obtained, EF values are in the medium to extremely high enrichment class of other metals except Cd; It has been calculated that Igeo values show very little contamination and CF values show little-medium contamination and PLI values of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn metals are above 1.
