Bioindication Capacity of Tree and Shrubbery Plantations’/leaves for Assessment of Environment Pollution by Heavy Metals on the Coverage Area of Mining and Smelting Enterprise

Abstract

There was investigated bioindication potential of tree and shrubbery plantation’s leaves  in assessment of environment pollution by heavy metals on the coverage of mining and smelting enterprise LLP “Kazzinc” Ust-Kamenogorsk City (Republic of Kazakhstan). On completing of research identified species, accumulators, which capable of better accumulation of heavy metals, i.e. leaves of plants B. pendula Roth. (drooping birch), A. negundo L. (box elder), P. nigria L. (black poplar), S. alba L. (white willow), E. argentea Pursch. (silverberry), S. vulgarisL. (blue ash). These species could recommend for creation of sanitary protection zone of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises as well as phyto filters of ambient air.
