“…Knezevic et al (2009) have analyzed heavy metal contents in the trees, performed at the plantation of P. elongata and P. fortunei near Bela Crkva in the region of Banat, Belgrade, Serbia. Stankovic et al (2009) have analyzed the heavy metal contents zinc, iron, lead, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in leaves of the trees growing in urban part of the city of Belgrade, Serbia, wider city area and rural area in the leaves of the species Paulownia longleaf growing in the urban condition, samples were collected (leaves) from three locations. Jayakumar and Jaleed (2009) have studied the heavy metals cobalt and legume plant soybean to test the heavy metal accumulating ability of soybean.…”

The aim of the present study is to investigate the concentrations of some heavy metals (cobalt, cadmium, lead, nickel and chromium) in the leaves of plants viz: neem (Azadirachta indica), kaner (Nerium oleander L.), Ashok (Saraca indica L.) and imli (Tamarindus indica) around the polluted and non polluted sites near Agra region, India. Heavy metal concentrations in leaves were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). According to our findings the order of heavy metals in plants leaves were found in as follows: Co>Pb>Ni>Cr>Cd. Correlation between heavy metals in different plants at different sites were calculated for each metal separately and a positive correlation is observed. The presence of these metal ions in plant leaves explain the fact that these plant leaves are good bioindicators and can be used in air pollution monitoring studies in industrial areas.

“…Thanks to the large leaf surface and the fact that the underside of the leaf has dense hair, this species can absorb significant amounts of sulfur dioxide and dust particles. Results of the analysis of heavy metals (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, Mn, Cd, As, Hg) in the leaves of woody species Paulownia elongata SY Hu growing in urban areas clearly show that Paulownia elongata SY Hu is a tolerant species, and can be recommended for forming tree lines along urban and regional roads as well as for the formation of wind protection zones along the main roads [5,17]. Paulownia can absorb heavy metals from the soil and from the air.…”

Interest in paulownia got its momentum around the world. With its fastgrowing nature and large leaf surfaces this species can absorb significant amounts of sulfur dioxide and dust particles. The cities of Tuzla and Lukavac, as most other Bosnian-Herzegovinian towns, have a number of geo-ecological problems, and the most pronounced one is negative anthropopressing on the atmospheric complex and pedospheric cover. This area, especially during the winter period, has a disrupted air quality where the greatest polluters are individual heating places, transport, industry, and energy sector. The pedologic cover of the wider area of Tuzla and Lukavac has suffered significant changes and is largely devastated. The processes of destruction of soils lead to complete destruction or formation of a new land with modified characteristics. High rainfall is a major cause of destabilization of slopes, but also is the negative anthropogenic activity in the area. Landslides have caused significant material damages, particularly in the residential structures of slope zones of the mentioned cities and suburban areas. This paper presents the basic biological characteristics of woody species paulownia elongata, and the possibility of planting it in areas that are now unused so to improve the quality of air, as well as on surfaces that are threatened by landslides.
