Abstract

Industrialization and overuse of automobiles result in the release of toxic matter in the air which may induce harmful effect on the living system such as plant, animal, soil fauna. All pollutants from traffic and factories suppress plant growth and development by preventing physiological and biochemical reactions. However, trees can play an important role in improvement the air quality by prevention of environmental pollution in the urban environment. The present study was conducted in Kastamonu city. It purpose was to point out the impacts of air pollution caused traffic on chemical compositions in Prunus laurocerasus L. For this purpose, we collected leaf sample of trees from areas away from the traffic for control, while polluted sample were selected from regions where the traffic was heavy (Salıpazarı) and less dense (Kısla park) in Kastamonu city center. In each of leaf sample, the amount of chlorophyll pigments, carotenoid, total soluble protein, MDA-malondialdehyde, H2O2, enzymatic antioxidants such as APX, CAT, GPOX and SOD activities, and non-enzymatic antioxidants measurements were performed. According to data, the amount of chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll, and CAT and GPOX activities was determined higher in non-polluted plant but chlorophyll a, proline, total soluble carbohydrate and SOD activity enhanced excessively contaminated leaf. APX activity was the highest in lighter contaminated leaf samples but H2O2 was the lowest. As a result, it could be concluded that the growth and development of cherry laurel was found to be affected traffic pollution depended on the severity of pollution. And also, on the basis of this study it can be said that cherry laurel is resistant to air pollution, and the results could be used in the future research to understand the role of individual tree species in air pollution.

Özet

Sanayileşme ve aşırı otomobil kullanımı, bitki, hayvan, toprak faunası gibi yaşam sistemi üzerinde zararlı etkiye neden olabilecek havada toksik maddenin salınımına neden olmaktadır. Trafikten ve fabrikalardan kaynaklanan tüm kirleticiler, fizyolojik ve biyokimyasal reaksiyonları engelleyerek bitki büyümesini ve gelişimini baskı altına alır. Bununla birlikte, ağaçlar, şehir ortamındaki çevre kirliliğini önleyerek hava kalitesinin iyileştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynayabilir. Bu çalışma, Kastamonu ilinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı trafiğe bağlı hava kirliliğinin Prunus laurocerasus L.' deki kimyasal bileşimler üzerindeki etkilerine dikkat çekmektir. Bu amaçla, Kastamonu şehir merkezinde trafikten uzak alanlardan kontrol numunesi toplanırken, kirli örnekler ise trafiğin yoğun (Salıpazarı) ve az yoğun (Kışla parkı) olduğu alanlardan seçilmiştir. Yaprak numunesinin her birinde klorofil pigmentleri, karotenoid, toplam çözünür protein, MDA-malondialdehit, H2O2 APX, CAT, GPOX ve SOD aktiviteleri gibi enzimatik antioksidanlar ve enzimatik olmayan antioksidanlar ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Verilere göre, klorofil b ve toplam klorofilin miktarı, CAT ve GPOX aktiviteleri, kirletilmeyen bitkilerde daha yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir fakat klorofil a, prolin, toplam çözünür karbonhidrat ve SOD aktivitesi çok fazla kirlenmiş yaprakta artmıştır. APX aktivitesi daha az kirlenmiş yaprak örneklerinde en yüksek ancak H2O2 ise en düşük seviyedeydi. Sonuç olarak, taflanın büyümesinin ve gelişmesinin, kirliliğin şiddetine bağlı olarak trafik kirliliğinin etkilediği sonucuna varılabilir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmanın temelinde, taflanın hava kirliliğine karşı dirençli olduğu söylenebilir ve sonuçlar, hava kirliliğinde bireysel ağaç türlerinin rolünü anlamak için daha sonraki araştırmalarda kullanılabilir.
