“…Heavy metal spread widely as a result of anthropogenic activities and industrial revolution. Heavy metals concentrations which exceed the permissible limits cause a serious ecological disaster (Akguc et al, 2008;Huseyinova et al, 2009), and cause severe health deterioration particularly to children (WHO, 1995). Heavy metals translocation via food chain and accumulation in human bodies cause potential health hazards and death.…”

A UTOMOBILE exhausts are considered the main source of air pollution with heavy metals. Airborne pollutants are precipitated on soils surrounding highways causing serious ecological hazards. The current study aimed at evaluating levels of Pb, Ni, Co and Cd in surface (015-cm) and subsurface (1540-cm) soils nearby Cairo-Alexandria agricultural highway, and their accumulation in plants grown thereon. Seven locations were sampled at interval distances 50 meters on both sides of the highway road near Toukh city (Qualubya Governorate). Cabbage and citrus plants were also sampled and separated into its parts. Results revealed that the investigated soils are contaminated with Pb, Ni and Cd. These contaminants were brought to the subsurface layers of the soil at relatively high concentrations. Total and DTPA-extractable contents of Pb and Ni in the top surface soil decreased with increasing the distance from the high way on both sides of the road. Moreover, concentrations of these metals in the cabbage parts were significantly correlated with their total and DTPA-extractable contents. However, Co and Cd in soils seemed to be not affected by the exhausts of the cars on the highway. Heavy metals decreased in cabbage parts as follows: root > stem > outer leaves > inner leaves > core. Calculated BAF values for Pb, Ni and Co were very low indicating that cabbage might be an excluder for these metals whereas, their transfer from roots to shoots (transfer factor, Ts) were high. Heavy metal concentrations in citrus decreased as leaves > flavedo > albedo > segments. Generally, concentrations of heavy metals in plants particularly Pb exceeded the permissible limits. 19

Amasya'da yetişen Calepina irregularis türünde ağır metal birikimi ve biyomonitör olarak kullanılabilirliğinin araştırılması Abstract: In this study, heavy metal accumulation (Ni, Fe, Co, Mn) in Calepina irregularis (Asso) Thell. (Brassicaceae), growing naturally in Amasya province, and the usability of it as abiomonitor was investigated. The amount of heavy metals in the root, stem and leaves of plants which were collected from the city center, near the highway, suburban and non-traffic (control) localities, were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and the obtained data were evaluated. The Ni, Fe, Co and Mn values in compete plants, growing in traffic areas, were found between the ranges 14.32-35.66 mgkg -1 , 827.61-2716.72 mgkg -1 , 12.52-16.51 mgkg -1 and 175.93-826.75 mgkg -1 respectively. The amount of element accumulation in the plant was listed as Fe>Mn>Ni>Co. Ni and Mn were found to be higher in plants growing near the highway while Fe and Co were higher in plants collected from city centre. Heavy metal accumulation was higher in leaves and roots of the plants growing around the highways while it was higher in stems of the plants growing in suburban areas. According to the correlation with plant and soil samples taken from the localities, the relationship between soil and plant, Fe and Mn contents was found significant at P<0.01 level. This shows that the plant receives Ni and Co elements due to air pollution, and that Fe and Mn are mostly taken from the soil through its roots. According to the results of the study, C.irregularis can be used as a biomonitor since it can monitor the short term changes in environmental pollution in urban areas due to its wide distribution area and it has several individuals in its habitat and its conformity with standard analysis methods.Özet: Bu çalışmada, Amasya ilinde doğal olarak yetişen Calepina irregularis (Asso) Thell.

Şehiriçi, otoyol kenarı, kenar semt ve trafiğin olmadığı alanlardan toplanan bitki örneklerinin; kök, gövde ve yapraklarında ağır metal miktarları İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma-Optik Emisyon Spektrometresi (ICP-OES) ile belirlenmiş ve elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Trafik bulunan alanlarda yetişen bitkilerin toplam kütlesindeki Ni, Fe, Co ve Mn değerleri sırasıyla 14.32-35.66 mgkg -1 , 827.61-2716.72 mgkg -1 , 12.52-16.51 mgkg -1 and 175.93-826.75 mgkg -1 aralığında bulunmuştur. Bitkide element biriktirme miktarı Fe>Mn>Ni>Co şeklinde sıralanmıştır. Ni ve Mn elementi yol kenarında yetişen bireylerde, Fe ve Co ise şehir içinde toplanan örneklerde yüksek değerde tespit edildi. Yol kenarında yetişen bitki örneklerinde yaprak ve kökte ağır metal birikimi daha fazla olurken, kenar semtte yetişen bitkilerde ise gövde de birikim daha fazla bulunmuştur.

“…Regarding the use of plants as bioindicators, many studies have been carried out alongside the urban and rural habitats in Turkey in this direction (Baslar et al 2003(Baslar et al , 2005Yilmaz and Zengin 2004;Yilmaz et al 2006;Dogan et al 2007Dogan et al , 2010Cayir et al 2008;Ozturk et al 2008;Huseyinova et al 2009). The samples collected in some of these studies have used mountainous areas as control group with the assumption that these are unpolluted (Baslar et al 2003(Baslar et al , 2005Yilmaz and Zengin 2004;Dogan et al 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the present levels of atmospheric trace element pollution in the Murat Mountain of Aegean Region in the western part of Turkey. Therefore, 29 different plants were selected as potential biomonitors of trace elements including nickel, zinc, iron, lead, cadmium and manganese (lg/g, dry weight). The samples were collected from two different heights of Murat Mountain. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine the concentrations of trace elements. The mean concentrations determined at 1,000 m altitude ranged from 0.139 to 4.518, 0.223 to 0.986, 0.359 to 6.930, 0.443 to 0.727 and 0.077 to 3.222 lg/g, dry weight, for nickel, zinc, iron, lead and manganese, respectively. At 1,600 m altitude, the values ranged from 0.191 to 6.248, 0.302 to 1.008, 2.387 to 8.896, 0.345 to 0.570 and 0.195 to 3.502 lg/g, dry weight, for nickel, zinc, iron, lead and manganese, respectively. No cadmium was found at both altitudes. For determination of existence of any differences between the averages of the herbaceous and woody plants, comparisons were made by the independent sample t test. In the statistical analysis, comparison of trace element pollution values of herbaceous and woody plants for nickel, lead and manganese was significant (P \ 0.05), while it was not for iron and zinc.
