“…Plant development, as with all other phenotypic characteristics, is shaped by the mutual interaction between genetic structure [60][61][62] and environmental conditions [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. For this reason, the optimum development conditions of each plant are related to different edaphic and climatic conditions [71][72][73][74]. Thus, since the maximum development of each plant might require different environmental conditions, their capacity to accumulate heavy metals in different parts would be at different levels.…”

The advancements worldwide in the last century made air pollution one of the most important problems threatening human health on a global scale. One of the most harmful components of air pollution is heavy metals. For this reason, monitoring and reducing heavy metal pollution has been one of the main research subjects in recent years. In the present study, the accumulation of Mn, Zn, Ba, and Sr, which were included in the preliminary pollutant list by ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) since they pose a significant threat to human health, by plant species and organ was investigated. As a result of the present study, the highest concentrations were found in the leaves. The most useful species to be utilized in monitoring the change of the concentrations of heavy metals examined here in the air and to reduce the level of pollution were found to be Cotoneaster franchetii and Platycladus orientalis.

“…Therefore, plants significantly alter the nutrient element content in the soils, where they are grown. The nutrient element content of the soil is one of the most important factors influencing the root development of plants [32][33][34]. As with all other organisms, the phenotypical characteristics and development of plants are shaped under the effects of plants' genetic structures [35][36][37] and environmental factors [38][39][40][41].…”

One of the most important factors playing role in plant development is the nutrient element content of the soil. Being one of the fundamentally necessary macronutrients for plant nourishment, calcium (Ca) plays an important role in the growth and development of a plant. Thus, even though many studies have been carried out on the change of Ca concentration in agricultural soils, the number of studies examining this subject for forest soils is very limited. In the present study, it was aimed to compare the concentrations of Ca in soil and plant organs for the soils, where different forest trees are grown. Within this scope, leaf, bark, wood, cone, and root samples were collected from Turkish fir, black pine, Scotch pine, and Oriental beech species and soil samples were taken from the surface, mid-deep, and deep soil levels. Then, the Ca concentrations were compared. As a result, it was determined that Ca concentrations statistically significantly vary between leaves, roots, and woods of plants and between mid-deep and deep soils by species (p

“…These elements are classified as heavy elements and, from the aspect of health, many of heavy elements are toxic, harmful, and carcinogenic even at low concentrations [32]. Co, one of these elements, is in the preliminary pollutant list of ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) [33] and is harmful to organisms even when at low concentrations [34]. Thus, many studies were carried out in order to determine the concentration of Co in various environments [35][36][37][38].…”

Concrete additives started to be used commonly in order to reduce the cost of concrete, which is widely used in construction industry, and to recycle some wastes that are harmful to the environment. However, these additives might include heavy metals that are very harmful to human and environmental health and the number of studies on this subject is very limited. Besides the health of individuals working in this industry, it also creates a lack of knowledge about the environmental effects of construction activities. In the present study, among the heavy metals that can be very harmful to human and environmental health, Co, Bi, and Mg concentrations in some concrete additives were examined. The results showed that heavy metal concentrations in various concrete additives including copper slag, vermiculite, brick dust, Cem III cement, and blast furnace slag were very high. It might pose a risk to the health of individuals working in this industry, as well as the environmental health.
