Study of the Radioactive and Chemical Air Pollution Patterns in Kiev conurbation using the Black Poplar Tree Bark as Biomonitor
Tree bark has proved to be a suitable biological substrate for air pollution
monitoring studies, especially in urban and industrial regions suffering from
anthropogenic overpressure. Black poplar (Populus Nigra L.) is a widespread tree
species in Ukrainian cities and elsewhere in the country, and is thus quite suitable
for performing air pollution monitoring both on a local and country‐wide scale. In
the present study a total of 156 black poplar bark samples were collected in 5
residential and industrialized areas in Kiev. The samples were subject to a
comprehensive analytical examination for the content of both stable chemical
elements and anthropogenic radionuclides.
