The Possibilities of Using Blue Spruce (Picea Pungens Engelm) as a Biomonitor by Measuring the Recent Accumulation of Mn in Its Leaves

Öz

Nowadays, air pollution has reached life-threatening levels in some cities, and worldwide, it has reached a level where millions of people lose their lives every year. Heavy metals (HMs), in particular, are among the significant components of air pollutants, as heavy metals are non-biodegradable and their concentration in the environment is constantly on the rise. They also tend to bio-accumulate. Therefore, identifying heavy metal concentrations in nature is of great importance in terms of identifying risky regions and risk levels. This study investigates the possibility of using the perennial Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) needles as a bio-monitor and to measure the recent change in Mn concentrations in these organelles. As part of the study, the changes in the concentration of Mn levels according to the organelles ages and whether the sampled organelles were washed or unwashed were evaluated. The results of the study show that Mn concentration varies significantly depending on the organelle, its age, and whether its washed or unwashed.
