Özet

Heavy metal levels have steadily risen over the past century due to the presence of human activity and are hazardous to human health and the environment. Regarding the health of humans and the environment, palladium (Pd) is among the most hazardous and toxic heavy metals. It is listed as a priority contaminant by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). As a result, eliminating pollution and tracking changes in Pd contamination in the air are the top research priorities. This study will be conducted on trees grown in D & uuml;zce, the fifth dirtiest city on the European continent, to identify appropriate species that may be utilized for tracking and mitigating Pd pollution in the air. Samples from Cupressus arizonica, Pinus pinaster, Cedrus atlantica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Picea orientalis will all be analyzed as part of the study, and the variations in Pd content according to species, organ, and direction will be assessed. The goal is to ascertain which biomonitors are best suited for tracking and mitigating lead contamination in the atmosphere. The study consistently found Pd contents in woods with different directions that developed within the same period. However, when the species were compared, notable differences were detected between the Pd levels formed in different directions in the same period for each species and the wood formed in the same direction in other periods. This variation suggests that Pd transfer in wood is restricted in all tested species. Consequently, every species performs as a reliable biomonitor for tracking Pd contamination.
