The Role of the Vegetative Part in Some Plant Species to Uptake and Accumulate Lead Element from Polluted Air (an Applied Study in Baghdad /Karkh in Iraq)

The current study was conducted to test the efficiency of vegetative part (plant leaves) plant species shrubs and trees involved in forming semi-artificial vegetation city Baghdad, Karkh, uptake accumulating lead element that pollutes air atmosphere. Five sampling sites were selected: Al-Kadhimiyah, Al-Mansour, Al-Ma'aml (Al-Salam district), Al-Adl, Al-Ameriya district intersections (Al-Seklat), symbols given (A, B, C, D, E) respectively. spread distribution plants vary terms human activities pollution levels, affecting five recorded more than 20 species. For a real comparison between effect nature region, recurrent non-recurring selected their presence at included (Conocarpus lancifolius, Ziziphus spina christi, Eucalyptus sp., Albizia lebbeck), (Nerium oleander, Dodonaea viscosa, Phoenix dactylifera, Olea europaea, Myrtus communis, Ficus nitida, Citrus aurantium). study's results showed variation ability accumulators. first site lebbeck, Nerium aurantium) (0.46, 0.56, 0.36, 0.55, -, 0.68, 0.33, 0.29, 0.84) second same (0.74, below detection limit, 0.25, 0.57, 0.16, 0.31, -) third (0.95, 0.65, 0.832, 0.831, 0.86, 1.02, 0.436, 0.532), fourth (0.34, 0.95, 0.48, 0.40, 0.19, -), fifth (0.48, 0.50, 0.49, 0.41, 1.45, ppm, from October 2021 May 2022
