The review area covers Adana city center and its surroundings. 52 soil samples were taken from the region. Analyzes of Fe, Al, Mn, Cu, Zn, Hg, Ni, Cr, Pb, As, Co, Cd elements were made by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry device. The analysis results were compared with the standards laid down in the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning's Soil Pollution directive. Fe, Mn and Pb elements were found to be below the standards, while Cu, Hg, Co, Cd elements were detected above the standards in some of the samples. In the analysis results related with Ni, As, Cr and Al elements, samples were found to be widely above the standards. It is considered that the parameters causing pollution are generally related to environmental factors and in the Cr and Ni element increase, the reason is considered to be partly the contribution of the geological structure in the region. In addition, enrichment factor, pollution factor, pollution degree and geo-accumulation index values are calculated in soil and sediment samples.
