Abstract:

Based on the specific ecological condition in Markazi province, agriculture is one of the most important crafts, which is in the third priority of the industry and has particular place in province. In late decade with development of technology, global consumption of chemical ingredients especially in developing countries has considerable growth. In such a way, from 1940’s to early 1980’s production of different chemical industrial ingredients became 340 fold and million tons of materials released to the environment. Because of that we attempted to identify the concentration of heavy metals in the soil of Iralko complex with element resource, bioavailability and intensity of pollution. The Screen 3 software was used and modeling of air contamination was done and in the end the places under influence of contamination were distinguished. Elements in anthropogenic portions did not have any significant relation. According to the rate of the concentration of bioavailable elements, Sn allocates the maximum concentration. In this way considerable effect of metal contamination in soils of Iralko factory was not observed and index of I_poll confirmed it.
