Metals in sediment samples were analyzed by ICP-OES. The difference between the stations except for Zn metal (p < 0.05) has not been considered as important and a statistical difference between seasons for Fe, Ni metals (p < 0.01) and Cu metal (p < 0.05) has been observed. The magnitude of metal concentrations in sediment was determined as Aluminium > Iron > Manganese > Zinc > Chromium > Copper > Boron > Nickel > Lead > Cadmium. Enrichment factor (EF) for all metals has been calculated (EF < 1). In the evaluation done by considering the EF values, it is seen that the metal concentrations found in the Beyler Dam Lake sediment stem from the natural composition of the sediment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnvironmental sciences & ecologyToxicologyBeyler reservoirSedimentMetalsHeavy-metalsDam lakeFishWaterPollutionStreamAluminumAnoxic sedimentsBoronBoron compoundsCadmiumChromiumManganeseMetalsReservoirs (water)SedimentologySedimentsZincAll metalBlack seaEf valueEnrichment factorsIcp-oesLake sedimentsMetal concentrationsNatural compositionNi metalSediment samplesStatistical differencesSurface sedimentsWater sourceCopperAluminumBoronCadmiumChromiumCopperEnvironmental monitoringGeologic sedimentsIronLeadManganeseMetalsNickelSeasonsTurkeyWater pollutants, chemicalWater pollution, chemicalWater supplyZincArticle0002993283000162-s2.0-8485655546819319788222160166Environmental sciencesToxicologySediment Contamination; Trace Metal; Pollution LoadAluminumBoronCadmiumChromiumCopperIronLeadManganeseMetalNickelZincArticleChemistryEnvironmental monitoringSeasonSedimentStatisticsTurkey (republic)Water pollutantWater pollutionWater supply
