Exploring Soil Pollution: Experiments on the Impact of Contaminated Water on Plant Growth

This study investigates soil pollution in Orhangazi through two experiments. In the first, we planted green peppers in five pots with soil, watering them using various contaminated water sources: olive washing water, waste oil, pickle wastewater, chemicals, and tap water. The growth results revealed detrimental effects of the contaminants, as many plants died shortly after being watered. The second experiment sampled soil from diverse locations, including industrial areas and cleaner environments, to assess the impact of local factories on soil quality. Results highlighted significant pollution concerns.

  9. Chemical (this one died after three measurements)

  10. Waste oil

  11. EXPERIMENT 2: Inthisexperimentwecollectedsoilfromdifferentplaces in Orhangazi. Therearemanyfactories in ourtownincludingheavyindustry.

  15. Of coursewecollectedsoilfrom ‘clean’ places, too. Herearetheresults:

  16. One of the biggest factories in Orhangazi called ‘Asil Çelik’ producing steel

  17. A Factory called ‘Componenta’ producing car parts

  18. A village near Mount Ulu, which is famous for its clean air and green environment. CUMALIKIZIK

  19. A village near Orhangazi; Çakırlı

  20. The school yard
