The regions from those areas are close to heavy industry plants (Yeniciftlik), food producing plants (Gumuscay) and highways (Sakirbey) in Biga county of Canakkale province, Turkey. Metals and mineral contents of the samples were determined by using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). This study showed that heavy metal concentrations in the two most important liquid food were found to differ from region to region due to environmental factors such as rainfall and industrialization. However, for mineral concentrations in the water and milk samples, no change was observed according to regional pollution parameters.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessheavy industryhighwaysliquid foodmineralheavy metalICP-AESArticle1346170N/AWOS:001087250100008208735
