Abstract
The aim of this paper was to study the metal accumulation in leaves and bark of Populus nigra L from atmosphere or soil. The heavy metals, including Cu, Ni, Zn, and Cd, concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in leaf, bark and soil samples collected from two polluted areas (i.e. Navodari Camp and Navodari Fertilizer Chemical Plant), in Romania. To determine the relationship between the metals concentration in leaves and bark and metals concentration in soil, the regression analysis has been performed and the values of the determined coefficient R-2 have been studied.
