“…Comparison of the study results with other studies showed elevated concentration of Ni, but also lower concentration of As, Cd, and Cr [28][29][30]. Nickel mainly originates from combustion of fossil fuels or traffic vehicle exhaust as an additive in fuels, although its relatively high geological origin in Belgrade was confirmed [31].…”

Article Highlights• Lead concentration showed a decreasing trend during the entire studied period • The horse chestnut leaves showed good response to changes in trace element atmospheric concentrations • Different sources of trace elements in ambient air and in horse chestnut leaves were observed • During the studied period, traffic was one of the major sources of the measured elements in Belgrade • The trace element concentrations in PM10 were below the limits of Serbian and EU legislation AbstractIn this study, airborne particulates (PM10) and leaves of horse chestnut were collected at selected urban sites in Belgrade, Serbia, in years 2006, 2009 and 2012. All samples were analysed for trace element concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb. It was found that, during the study period, the differences among PM10 mass trace element concentrations were not considerable, and that the measured mass and trace elements concentrations were below the Serbian and EU legislation limits. The highest values of trace element concentrations in leaves were observed in year 2012, with the exception of Pb. Lead concentration had a decreasing trend during the whole studied period, in both PM10 and tree leaves. Since leaded gasoline was banned in 2011, a possible reason could be an increasing number of vehicles using unleaded kind along the previous years. Although trace elements in horse chestnut leaves were accumulated only during the summer season, horse chestnut leaves showed good response to changes in trace element atmospheric concentrations. However, seasonal variability was evident in trace element source apportionment due to the lack of stationary heating system influence. The principal component analysis showed that during the studied period, one of the major sources of the measured elements was fossil fuel combustion.

Esta tendencia se ha identificado en varios estudios en que las zonas mayormente pobladas tienen niveles inferiores de O 3 en comparación con sectores periféricos (Salem et al 2009, Gaga et al 2012, Yoo et al 2015. La relación inversa ocurre por dos factores principales: i) la fotoquímica del ozono, y ii) la facilidad de transporte del ozono desde el sitio en que se origina hacia ubicaciones remotas (Seinfeld y Pandis 2006).…”

Palabras clave: muestreadores pasivos, dióxido de azufre, óxidos de nitrógeno, ozono RESUMENSe determinaron los perfiles espaciales de las concentraciones en aire de dióxido de azufre (SO2), óxidos de nitrógeno (NOX) y ozono troposférico (O3) mediante el uso de muestreadores pasivos en la ciudad andina de Manizales, Colombia. Este estudio se realizó con el propósito de establecer una línea base de las concentraciones de estos contaminantes y analizar la posible influencia de fuentes locales de emisión (naturales y antrópicas). Las mediciones se realizaron en 12 puntos de monitoreo distribuidos entre las áreas urbana y rural de la ciudad, considerando la dirección del viento sobre la que se dispersa la pluma del volcán activo Nevado del Ruiz. Se realizaron tres campañas de monitoreo con una duración de cuatro semanas cada una. Las concentraciones promedio de SO2 variaron de 4.1 a 9.8 µg/m 3 en los diferentes puntos, con puntos de mayor concentración que sugieren influencia de la actividad industrial y del Nevado del Ruiz. Las concentraciones promedio de NOX variaron en un rango de 5.9 a 82.2 µg/m 3 , con mayores concentraciones en los puntos con influencia de alto flujo vehicular. Las concentraciones de O3 variaron de 16.1 a 68.1 µg/m 3 , y las mayores concentraciones se registraron en los puntos del área rural.Key words: passive samplers, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone ABSTRACT Spatial profiles of ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and tropospheric ozone (O3) were determined by passive samplers in the Andean city of Manizales, Colombia. The study was performed in order to establish baseline concentrations of these contaminants in ambient air, and to analyze the influence of natural and anthropogenic local emission sources. Measurements were performed in 12 points located between urban and rural areas in the city, considering the wind direction on which the emission of the active volcano Nevado del Ruiz is dispersed. Three monitoring campaigns were carried out with duration of four weeks per campaign. Average SO2 concentrations ranged from 4.1 to 9.8 µg/m 3 among the different Rev. Int.

Biomarkers of ecotoxicological oxidative stress in an urban environment: using evergreen plant in industrial areas

Plants react to air pollution by increased production of reactive oxygene species and oxidative stress, which triggers multiple defense mechanisms. In this study, some parameters that serve as biomarkers for antioxidative defense, such as glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde, chlorophyll and total soluble protein contents, were investigated on the needles of Cedrus libani (A. Rich.) grown around two industrial areas in Eskisehir. The measurements revealed that metabolism in needles of C. libani trees is largely directed towards defence against ROS, due to effects of air pollution in the sampling areas. We observed significant increases in all parameters, except chlorophyll contents, which were strongly decreased. However, these sharp changes were also prominent not only between sampling sites and control site, but also among the areas investigated, suggesting the quantitative influence of the extent of pollution. Together with total soluble protein contents, the correlation between GST activities and GSH contents suggests that damage due to oxidative stress was most probably reduced due to the increased antioxidant capacity. Therefore, we can suggest C. libani as a good model for biomonitoring atmospheric quality with the oxidative stress parameters providing an effective measure for early environmental assessment due to their sensitivities of even low levels of pollution.
