Changes in Heavy Metal Accumulation Depending on Traffic Density in Some Landscape Plants
Open accessAbstract
Air pollution is among the major problems stemming from modern urban life.Millions of people worldwide die from air pollution every year.Especially heavy metals have great importance among these pollutants.Because heavy metals can stay in nature for a long time without deterioration, and their concentration in the environment is constantly increasing.They also tend to bioaccumulate.Many heavy metals arise from exhaust gases, car wheels, vehicles, and vehicle corrosion in cities. Determining heavy metal concentrations in plants is important both for determining the ability of plants to remove heavy metals from the air, and thus to be used as a means of increasing air quality, as well as for monitoring air quality.The purpose of this study is to determine the variation of different heavy metal concentrations, depending on the traffic density, in some landscape plants sampled from areas with different levels of traffic density.Our results show that heavy metal accumulation differs according to both plant species and traffic density.In traffic-dense areas we measured the greatest amounts of Cu, Ni, and Fe in Prunus cerasifera; of Ca, Mg, and Mn in Ailanthus altissima; of Cr and Zn in Elaeagnus angustifolia; and of Pb and Cd in Tilia tomentosa.

“Several hyperaccumulators, such as Aesculus hippocastanum L., Betula pendula Roth, Elaeagnus angustifolia L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Platanus orientalis L., and Tilia tomentosa Moench, have been employed in biomonitoring of metal ions, such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn (Turkyilmaz et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
