In recent years the use of plants as bioaccumulators or bioindicators has increased because
enable the prediction of pollution for monitoring purposes, even in urban environments …

We investigated the role of urban Holm Oak (Quercus ilex L.) trees as an airborne metal
accumulators and metals' environmental fate. Analyses confirmed Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn as a …

Higher plants may be used as biomonitors for the assessment of atmospheric heavy metal
pollution by means of their bioaccumulative properties. We evaluated the reliability of …

Holm oak (Quercus ilex), a widespread urban street tree in the Mediterranean region, is
widely used as biomonitor of persistent atmospheric pollutants, especially particulate-bound …

Leaf and bark of trees are tools for assessing the effects of the heavy metals pollution and
monitoring the environmental air quality. In this study, the possibility of using leaves and …

The aim of this study was to show the usefulness of woody species in assessing air pollution
by cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc. For this, washed leaves, unwashed leaves, and barks …

Abstract The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Fe, and Mn were analyzed in surface deposit and
tissue of Quercus ilex leaves from several sites of the urban area of Naples, exposed to …

The measurement of heavy metal concentrations in plants is important both for determining
their ability to remove these pollutants from the air to increase its quality, and for the …

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the concentrations of C, N and S and several
trace elements (Fe, Mn, Na, Zn, Cu, V, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd) in leaves of Quercus ilex, an …

Leaves of common deciduous trees: the horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and
linden (Tilia spp.) from the park, near one of the most important cultural institutions, the …
