Determining the heavy metal pollution in Denizli (Turkey) by using Robinio pseudo-acacia L.

摘要: The leaves of Robinia pseudo-acacia L. (Fabaceae) were evaluated as a biomonitors heavy metal contamination in Denizli city, Turkey. Concentrations Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn and Cd determined washed unwashed soils collected from wide range sites with different degrees pollution (industry, urban roadside, suburban) rural (control) site by atomic absorption spectrometry. All the elements that measured found to be at high levels samples industrial sites, except for lead copper which roadsides associated road traffic. strong correlation between degree concentrations all plant assessed display R. reflect environmental changes accurately, they seem an effective biomonitor quality areas subjected traffic pollutions.
