Case study on metal(loid)s distribution in linden tree parts, in areas with hight environmental pollution
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The investigation focuses on the distribution of Al, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, As, and Cd, in the roots, branches and leaves of linden tree, a very common plant species used in traditional medicine, sampled in the area affected by pollution from the mining-metallurgical facilities for copper production, and one unpolluted zone. Plant samples were collected and processed following the established scientific methods, while concentrations of metal(loid)s were determined using the ICP-AES. Distinct patterns in the metal(loid)s distribution in the linden parts were revealed, which varied depending on the environmental pollution levels, highlighting obvious differences between the polluted and unpolluted zones.
