“…For vegetation the levels were Pb,350;Cu,30;Ni,3.7 and Cr,4. The possible hazards arising from pollution of the environment by heavy metals have surfaced more recently, and the toxicity of some of these metals toward humans especially children when exposed to them from the atmosphere, water or food has been well documented (Browning, 1969;World Health Organisation, 1972;Page and Bingham, 1973;Mahaffey, 1977;Smith, 1994). Vehicle exhausts, as well as several industrial activities, emit these heavy metals (Lagerwerff and Specht, 1970;Solomon and Hartford, 1976;Bower et al, 1978;Reeves and Brooks, 1983;Turer, 2005;Guan Dong-sheng and Pert, 2006) so that soils, plants and residents along roads with heavy traffic loads are subjected to increasing levels of contamination with heavy metals (Welch and Dick, 1975;Harve and Underdal, 1976;Ward et al, 1977;Harrison et al, 1981;Ho and Tai, 1988;Jaradat and Moman, 1999;Delmas et al, 2002;Bhargava and Gupta, 2003) Although substantial work has been carried out in Europe and the United States on lead distribution with distance from roads, and the trends expected are well established, so far as we are aware data for other metals is more restricted, and there are no previous studies of this type from Libya.…”

Levels of some heavy metals in soil and vegetation along a major highway in Libya were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The concentrations of Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cr and Mn in soil and vegetation all decreased with distance from the road, indicating their relation to traffic. The concentrations of the metals also decreased with depth in the soil profile indicating that the source of the metals was aerial deposition from motor vehicles. Inter-relationships between metals in the soil were highly significant (p < 0.05) suggesting a common source for these metals. Pb and Zn were found to be deposited more than the other metals. Average values for citrus limon leaves were generally 30 -65 % of those for Olea europaea leaves. In most cases, between 20-40% of the metals was removable by simple washing with water, indicating that a significant, but not predominant fraction of the metals is in the form of easily-removed particulate matter. Discussion of the results of this study is based on statistical treatment of the data.
