Soil samples from 40 different sampling points in the Aydin Basin were analysed and the distributions of Ti, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Sr, Zr, Rb, Ba and Ce were investigated by energy‐dispersive x‐ray fluorescence spectrometry. Two annular sources, 238 Pu (10 mCi) and 241 Am (30 mCi) and two detectors, Si(Li) and HPGe, were used. The fundamental parameter technique was adopted for quantitative analysis of elements. The concentrations of Cr, Zr, Zn and Ce were found to be higher than those corresponding to the mean chemical composition of the lithosphere.
