INVESTIGATION OF LEAD (Pb) POLLUTION IN P. NIGRA (J.F. ARNOLD) SUBSP. NIGRA VAR. CARAMINICA (LOUDON) REHDER COLLECTED ROAD SIDES IN SOME REGIONS OF KIRIKKALE CITY
Abstract
In this study, lead (Pb) pollution due to trafic in the leaves of P. nigra subsp. nigra var.
caraminica colletted from different parts of Kırıkkale Province Center was investigated. As
a result, it was found that lead (Pb) accumulation in the leaves of P. nigra subsp. nigra var.
caraminica increase according to trafic density. The most accumulated lead pollution was
observed at the leaves samples collected from Zafer Avenue, and the least lead pollution
was seen at the samples collected from Rafineri area.
