| description | Biomonitoring is the use of living organisms to identify possible environmental pollution. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of intensity of urban traffic in the availability of elements and suspended solids as well as identify the potential in the accumulation and retention of substances in different tree species using its leaves as passive biomonitors and for accumulation. As samples we used tree leaves collected from two areas in the municipality of Vitoria da Conquista (BA state), with transit vehicles and moderate human activities, and in a zone of increased traffic and intense activities. We determined the particulate matter (MP) deposited in the leaves by the gravimetric method and the elements Fe, Cu, Ni, Co and Cd by atomic absorption spectrometry with graphite furnace (GF AAS). Fe was significantly distinguished from other variables, with higher concentrations than other metals. The data was interpreted by multivariate analysis. Cluster analysis separated two groups, one consisting of MP, Fe and Cd, because they are originated from the wear and tear of vehicles and burning fossil fuels. The species of the family Fabaceae showed greater similarity to Cu element, namely, because the Cu metabolic activity is inversely proportional to the concentration of nitrogen behavior. The vehicle traffic directly influenced the availability of some toxic elements and the concentration of the deposited solid particles. It is concluded that the species influences the accumulation of chemical elements and have different catchment potentials. The trees can be utilized as biomonitors which are passive of accumulation. |
