摘要
Biomonitoring studies of elements (Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br, Sr and Pb) in leaves of Nerium oleander were performed using energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The samples were collected at different locations in Lisbon, some with light and others with heavy traffic. The results were compared with those obtained for samples from the same species collected in an unpolluted region. Significant differences in the concentrations of some elements, particularly iron, titanium, zinc, strontium and lead, were found for samples from different locations. Titanium and iron concentrations had similar variations from one site to another with an almost constant ratio (Ti/Fe almost-equal-to 0.2). The concentrations of lead were, as expected, higher at locations with heavier traffic.
