“…Therefore, air and soil composition also affect plant element concentrations [10]. In recent years, it has been determined that air pollution in urban areas has increased significantly in connection with industrial activities and traffic density [51][52][53]. Along with air pollution, it is stated that the heavy metals concentration, many of which also serve as nutrients for plants, increases significantly in this process [54].…”

This study aimed to determine the variations in K and Mg element concentrations in branches, leaves, and seeds of Aesculus hippocastanum, Prunus ceracifera, Tilia platyphyllos, Acer negundo, and Ailanthus altissima, which are frequently used in urban areas, especially in landscape studies, based on traffic density. As a result, the changes in the elements based on the traffic density in all organs and organs in all traffic intensities were significant (P

Artan nüfus ve sanayileşme, hava kirliliğini de beraberinde getirmiş, hava kirliliği bazı şehirlerde insan sağlığını tehdit edecek düzeyde artmış ve günümüzün en önemli gündem konularından birisi haline gelmiştir. Kent içerisinde egzoz gazları, araba tekerleri, araçlar ve araç aşınmalarından kaynaklanan pek çok kirletici madde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bunlar arasında özellikle ağır metaller büyük öneme sahiptir. Zira ağır metaller doğada bozulmadan uzun süre kalabilmekte ve çevredeki konsantrasyonu da sürekli artmaktadır. Ayrıca biyobirikme eğilimindedir. Bundan dolayı ağır metal konsantrasyonunun belirlenmesi, riskli bölgelerin ve risk düzeyinin tespit edilmesi açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Ağır metal kirliliğinin atmosferdeki konsantrasyonunun değişimini gösteren en önemli belirteçler biyomonitörlerdir. Bu çalışmada da trafik kaynaklı ağır metal konsantrasyonunun izlenmesinde kullanılabilen Eonymus japonica (Ej), Juniperus sabina (Js) ve Buxus sempervirens (Bs) türlerinde B ve Ag elementlerin konsantrasyonlarının organ bazında yıkama durumu ve trafik yoğunluğuna bağlı değişimi belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında çalışmaya konu bitki türlerinin, trafiğin yoğun olduğu, az yoğun olduğu ve trafiğin bulunmadığı alanlarda yetişen bireylerinden yaprak ve dal örnekleri toplanmış, örneklerin bir kısmında yıkama işlemi gerçekleştirilmiş ve hazırlanan örneklerde ağır metal analizleri yapılarak B ve Ag elementlerinin konsantrasyonları belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda farklı türlerin ağır metalleri farklı düzeyde biriktirdiği, elementlerin konsantrasyonlarındaki değişimin de tür bazında organ ve trafik yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.

“…Cetin et al ( 2019 ) evaluated the air quality based on CO 2 amount and amount of particulate matter in 6 different dimensions and determined the change in sound level on a regional basis depending on the time of day and the season in different areas of Bursa City Center. In Elsunousi et al ( 2021 ), the regional and periodic change of CO 2 and particulate matter pollution in the city of Misurata were illustrated. Climate has a direct impact on a plant’s characteristics (Kaya et al, 2019 ; Sevik et al, 2021 ).…”

Kolkata has a reputation for being one of the world’s most polluted cities, particularly in the post-monsoon months of October, November, and December. Diwali, a Hindu festival, coincides with these months where a large number of firecrackers are set off followed by high emissions of air pollutants. As a result, the air quality index (AQI) deteriorates to “very poor” (301 ≤ AQI ≤ 400) and “poor” (201 ≤ AQI ≤ 300) categories. This situation stays for several days to a month. The present study aims to identify the thresholds for PM 2.5 and PM 10 that cause the AQI of Kolkata to deteriorate to “very poor” and “poor.” For this purpose, we have used a rough set theory-based condition-decision support system to predict the aforementioned categories of AQI. We have developed a Z-number-based novel quantification measure of semantic information of AQI to assess the reliability of the outcomes, as generated from the condition-decision-based decision rules, during post-monsoon season. The result reveals the best possible forecast of AQI with linguistic summarization of the reliability or confidence for different threshold ranges of PM 10 and PM 2.5 . Inverse-decision rules based on rough set theory are utilized to justify and validate the forecasts. The explainability of the condition-decision support system is demonstrated/visualized using a flow graph that maps rough-rule-based different decision paths between input and output with strength, certainty, and coverage. The investigation resulted in an advanced intelligent environmental decision support system (IEDSS) for air-quality prediction.
