Abstract

The bioaccumulation ofmetalloids especially arsenic (As) concentrations in urban and suburbanenvironments and bioaccumulation of As in natural and exotic tree and shrubspecies are not well-documented. One of the most significant sources of As arevehicular emissions and coal combustion. The bioaccumulation of As in somenatural and exotic tree and shrub species in Samsun and Atakum in Central BlackSea Region of Turkey is studied. Most of the studies about As pollution werecarried out in heavily polluted environments such as lead smelters. However,high As concentrations were found for some natural and exotic tree and shrubspecies in urban and suburban environments in this study. It has been found thatM. grandiflora twigs had the highestAs concentrations in all of the studied species. Leaf As concentrations werefound to be high in E. camaldulensis,P. abies, A. cyanophylla, C. vitalba,and L. vulgare as compared to twigsand flowers, while twigs of O. europaeaand M. grandiflora had high Asconcentrations in Samsun center. E.camaldulensis and A. cyanophyllahad high As concentrations in their leaves in Atakum similar to Samsun citycenter. M. grandiflora twigs and L.vulgare leaves can be used for biomonitoring studies due to high Asconcentrations in their tissues.

Özet

Metalloidlerin özellikle arsenik (As) biyoakümülasyonunun kentsel ve kırsal alanlardaki doğal ve egzotik ağaç ve çalı türlerindeki konsantrasyonları pek çalışılmamıştır. Arsenik metaloidinin en önemli kaynaklarından biri taşıt emisyonları ve kömür yanmasıdır. Samsun ilindeki bazı doğal ve egzotik ağaç ve çalı türlerinde arsenik metaloidinin biyolojik birikimi incelenmiştir. Kirlilik gibi çalışmaların çoğu kurşun kirleticileri gibi yoğun kirlenmiş ortamlarda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ancak, bu çalışmada kentsel ve kırsal ortamlarda bulunan bazı doğal ve egzotik ağaç ve çalı türlerinde yüksek arsenik konsantrasyonları bulunmuştur. İncelenen tüm türlerden, M. grandiflora dallarının en yüksek As konsantrasyonnuna sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. E. camaldulensis, P. abies, A. cyanophylla, C. vitalba ve L. vulgare türlerinde dal ve çiçeklere göre yapraklarda arsenik konsantrasyonu yüksek iken, O. europaea ve M. grandiflora türlerinde ise dalların yüksek arsenik konsantrasyonlarına sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Samsun şehir merkezi ve Atakum'da E. camaldulensis ve A. cyanophylla türlerinin yapraklarında benzer yüksek oranda arsenik konsantarasyonu bulunmuştur. M. grandiflora dalları ve L. vulgare yapraklarının yüksek arsenik konsantrasyonlarına sahip olmasından dolayı bu türler biyo-izleme çalışmalarında kullanılabileceği belirlenmiştir.
