The Investigation of the Changing in Conccentration of Some Heavy Metals in Seeds, Leaves, and Branches because of Traffic Density: a Case Study of Acer Platanoides

Abstract

Heavy metals are pollutants that are released into the atmosphere usually through industrial or traffic sources. Monitoring the heavy metal pollution is of great importance because, in addition to being carcinogenic in terms of their effects on human health, some are toxic even in low concentrations. They also tend to bioaccumulate. Using the plants as biomonitors, it is vital to determine the appropriate and effective plant species and the organelles of the plants to monitor each heavy metal type for the most accurate calculations. Within this study, changes of the concentrations of Ba, Al, B, Ca, Fe, K, Mg and Mn elements in Acer platanoides were determined depending on the organelle and traffic density. As a result of the study, it was determined that the elements subject to the study differed significantly at least at a 95% confidence level on the organelle basis of the elements other than Ba and Mn. When the changes of the elements depending on the traffic density were evaluated separately, it was determined that Ba and Fe elements increased depending on the traffic density in all organs.

The Investigation of the Change in Concentrations of Some Heavy Metals in Seeds, Leaves, and Branches because of Traffic Density: a Case Study of Acer platanoides L.

Abstract

Ağır metaller, genellikle endüstriyel veya trafik kaynakları yoluyla atmosfere salınan kirleticilerdir. Ağır metal kirliliğinin izlenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır, çünkü insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri açısından kanserojen olmasının yanı sıra, bazıları düşük konsantrasyonlarda bile toksiktir. Ayrıca biyolojik olarak birikme eğilimindedirler. Bitkileri biyo-monitörler olarak kullanmak, her bir ağır metal tipini en doğru hesaplamalar için izlemek üzere uygun ve etkili bitki türlerini ve bitkilerin organellerini belirlemek çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada Acer platanoides lerinde Ba, Al, B, Ca, Fe, K, Mg ve Mn elementlerinin konsantrasyonlarındaki değişiklikler organel ve trafik yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, araştırmaya konu olan elementlerin Ba ve Mn dışındaki elementlerin organel bazında en az % 95 güven düzeyinde önemli ölçüde farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Trafik yoğunluğuna bağlı elementlerin değişimleri ayrı ayrı değerlendirildiğinde, tüm organlardaki trafik yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak Ba ve Fe elementlerinin arttığı belirlenmiştir.
