Investigation of the Impact to Underground Water of the Marble Waste Storage Field of Afyonkarahisar Organized Industrial Zone

27551

Almost 400 marble cutting and processing plant in the region of Afyonkarahisar create 300.000 tones slurry and 200.000 tones solid marble waste. These wastes gather around in the waste storage fields of 3 areas (İscehisar, Susuz Boğazı and Organized Industrial Zone) in Afyonkarahisar. 40 marble cutting and processing plant which are located in the Organized Industrial Zone of Afyonkarahisar create 60.000 tones solid and 120.000 slurry marble wastes. 45.500 solid and 97.500 slurry wastes of them are used in cement production by Afyon Cement Factory. In this paper, in order to investigate the effect of underground water to marble wastes around the Organized Industrial Zone some samples were taken from water wells around that area and chemical analysis is performed to them. The reason of the contaminant in the underground water is marbles wastes which highly contain Ca and Mg ions. The rate of increase in Ca and Mg ions between 2000 and 2007 is determined respectively %1.22, %2.94, %0.72 and %0.17. In the last 7 years, there has not been seen such an important increase in Ca and Mg ions. According to these data, it can be said that underground water is not adversely affected by the marble waste storage field
