Abstract

ABSTRACT Heavy metals constitute the largest part of air pollution. Heavy metals, the concentration of which in the environment is constantly increasing and which can remain intact in nature for a long time, are a great threat to living things. In addition, due to the fact that it causes bioaccumulation in the structure of living things, the detection of heavy metal concentration is very important. However, living things in areas where traffic is heavy are exposed to exhaust fumes, and this significantly negatively affects the health of living things. In our study, the areas where heavy traffic are concentrated in Ankara were determined and the possibilities of using linden trees, which were planted abundantly in the middle refuges, as a biomonitor for the change in heavy metal hunters were investigated. Changes of Pb, Fe, Cd, Cr and As elements in soil and plant samples were analyzed in ICP-MS device. SPSS 22 Statistical Package Program was used to evaluate the obtained data. The Tilia tomentosa Moench. parts (leaf, flower and branch) are evaluated, it is seen that the heavy metal amounts in the unwashed samples are higher than the washed samples for all heavy metals. The highest metal concentration among the stations was Fe (40681 µgg-1) collected from Gazi station, the lowest concentration was Cd (4.9 µgg-1) collected from the Mogan station on soils.

Heavy metals constitute the largest part of air pollution. Heavy metals, the concentration of which in the environment is constantly increasing and which can remain intact in nature for a long time, are a great threat to living things. In addition, due to the fact that it causes bioaccumulation in the structure of living things, the detection of heavy metal concentration is very important. However, living things in areas where traffic is heavy are exposed to exhaust fumes, and this significantly negatively affects the health of living things. In our study, the areas where heavy traffic are concentrated in Ankara were determined and the possibilities of using linden trees, which were planted abundantly in the middle refuges, as a biomonitor for the change in heavy metal hunters were investigated. Changes of Pb, Fe, Cd, Cr and As elements in soil and plant samples were analyzed in ICP-MS device. SPSS 22 Statistical Package Program was used to evaluate the obtained data. The Tilia tomentosa Moench. parts (leaf, flower and branch) are evaluated, it is seen that the heavy metal amounts in the unwashed samples are higher than the washed samples for all heavy metals.
