Abstract Heavy metal (HM) pollution in urban air, a global dilemma, has increased drastically the last century. Aluminum (Al) is one of HMs and neurotoxic element that can be absorbed into human tissues through digestion, breathing, skin. Al accumulation humans cause diseases even death. Due to risks it poses environmental health, vital track contamination shifts airborne decrease them. In this study, 40-year concentration differences Pseudotsuga menziesii , Cedrus atlantica Picea orientalis Cupressus arizonica Pinus pinaster grown Düzce, Türkiye, fifth most polluted European town, terms direction, tree species, tissue type were assessed. As result, generally varies as outer bark > inner wood. Whole species accumulate significantly, transfer between adjacent cells wood part limited. conclusion, all used biomonitors temporal changes. However, highest concentrations, especially part, observed these chosen suitable phytoremediation studies.

Among the heavy metals (HMs) whose concentrations in natural environments have risen considerably last era, chromium (Cr) is one of most toxic. Because risks it poses to human and environmental health, great importance screen variation Cr contamination atmosphere decrease pollution. This study aimed determine proper tree species that can be used monitor reduce contamination. For this aim, studies were conducted on Tilia tomentosa, Robinia pseudoacacia, Cedrus atlantica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Fraxinus excelsior growing Düzce, which among 5 contaminated European towns according World Air Pollution report. Samples taken from these trees examined, changes concentration depending species, organs, compass direction, age range 60 years evaluated. Results indicated higher pollution recent years, consistent with traffic density, but there was no effect direction. It also determined appropriate for screening airborne decreasing pseudoacacia atlantica.

Variation Of Ge Concentration In Some Coniferous Species Over Long Years

Menba Kastamonu Üniversitesi Su Ürünleri Fakültesi Dergisi, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 24 - 33

: Increasing natural events and human activities in the last century led to release of an excessive amount inorganic organic pollutants into environment ecosystems. One most important disrupting balance between living organisms ecosystem is metals. Heavy metals, particular, are transported top levels food chain cause harm organisms. Therefore, among pollutants, heavy metals have a specific ecological importance. carcinogenic and, due their bioaccumulative, non-degradable, refractory characteristics, they pose serious health risks systems environment. Pinus pinaster (Pp), Cupressus arizonica (Cpa), Picea orientalis (Po), Cedrus atlantica (Cda) Pseudotsuga menziesii (Pm) species were examined present study. Changes Ge concentrations these by directions organs periods 1988-1992 2013-2017 determined. As result study, lowest concentration was found west Pb (872.8) highest one north Cpa (6367.5). The study revealed that accumulation plant analyzed here at considerably high level. These results suggest pollution air very high.

The most important and harmful components of air pollution that affect the health cause death millions people every year around world are heavy metals. Due to their potential harm, monitoring change in concentration metals reducing essential. This study aimed determine usability Cedrus atlantica grown Düzce, where metal is reported be high, for lithium air. For this purpose, Li annuals Düzce was evaluated 60-year period. As a result study, it determined region has increased significantly last decade. highest values were generally obtained north direction, interpreted as originating from highway i.e., traffic. very suitable species pollution.

Bazı İç Mekân Bitkilerinin Fotosentez Hızı ve Karbon Tutma Kapasitelerinin Belirlenmesi

Menba Kastamonu Üniversitesi Su Ürünleri Fakültesi Dergisi, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 2, 2024

Bu çalışma ile iç mekân bitkisi olarak kullanılabilen bazı bitki türlerinin, fotosentez hızı ve karbon tutma kapasitelerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Farklı ışık koşullarında, bitkilerin hızının tür bazında da toplam Karbon (C) depolama kapasitesinin ne düzeyde değiştiği belirlenmiş böylece sınırlı mekanlar olan ortamlarda hangi hava kalitesini artırmak amacıyla kullanımının daha uygun olduğu belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları, Ficus elastica ‘tineke’ (alacalı kauçuk) Monstera deliciosa (devetabanı)’da sabah öğlen yapılan ölçümler arasında istatistiki anlamlı farklılık bulunmadığını bu türlerin difüz ışıkta dahi direk koşullarındaki kadar yapabildiğini göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla gölge mekanlarda alacalı kauçuk devetabanı türlerinin kullanılması tavsiye edilmektedir. sonucunda en yüksek ortalama değerler (kauçuk) benjamina (Benjamin) türlerinde elde edilmiştir. sonuç kullanımı türler olduğunu Ayrıca boyutları yaprak yüzey alanları düşünüldüğünde de ortam kalitesine fazla pozitif etkiyi yapan söylenebilir.
