Concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured in the water, sediment and fish species (Acanthobrama marmid, Chalcalburnus mossulensis, Chondrostoma regium, Carasobarbus luteus, Capoetta trutta and Cyprinus carpio) from the Atatürk Dam Lake, Turkey. Among the heavy metals studied Cd, Co, Hg, Mo and Pb were not detected in water, sediments and fish samples, while Ni was undetectable levels in fish samples. Levels of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn varied depending on different tissues. The results of this study indicated that a general absence of serious pollution in the dam lake is due to heavy metals, where as the concentrations of elements found could mainly be attributed to geological sources.
对土耳其阿塔图尔克大坝湖的水、沉积物和鱼类物种（阿氏金线鲃、摩苏尔软口鱼、皇家软口鱼、黄野鲮、突吻鲃和鲤鱼）中的重金属（镉、钴、铜、铁、汞、锰、钼、镍、铅和锌）浓度进行了测量。在所研究的重金属中，水、沉积物和鱼类样本中未检测到镉、钴、汞、钼和铅，而鱼类样本中镍的含量未达到可检测水平。铜、铁、锰和锌的含量因不同组织而异。这项研究的结果表明，大坝湖总体上不存在因重金属导致的严重污染，而所发现元素的浓度主要可归因于地质来源。
