AB  - The concentrations of 15 elements were measured in the leaf samples of Aesculus hippocastanum, Tilia spp., Betula pendula and Acer platanoides collected in May and September of 2014 from four different locations in Belgrade, Serbia. The objective was to assess the chemical characterization of leaf surface and in-wax fractions, as well as the leaf tissue element content, by analyzing untreated, washed with water and washed with chloroform leaf samples, respectively. The combined approach of self-organizing networks (SON) and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) aided by Geometrical Analysis for Interactive Aid (GAIA) was used in the interpretation of multiple element loads on/in the tree leaves. The morphological characteristics of the leaf surfaces and the elemental composition of particulate matter (PM) deposited on tree leaves were studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector. The results showed that the amounts of retained and accumulated element concentrations depend on several parameters, such as chemical properties of the element and morphological properties of the leaves. Among the studied species, Tilia spp. was found to be the most effective in the accumulation of elements in leaf tissue (70% of the total element concentration), while A. hippocastanum had the lowest accumulation (54%). After water and chloroform washing, the highest percentages of removal were observed for Al, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Sb ( gt 40%). The PROMETHEE/SONranking/classifying results were in accordance with the results obtained from the GAIA clustering techniques. The combination of the techniques enabled extraction of additional information from datasets. Therefore, the use of both the ranking and clustering methods could be a useful tool to be applied in biomonitoring studies of trace elements.

AB  - The first investigation of the use of the Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) which includes lead concentration and its isotopic composition in moss bags to assess the spatial and temporal patterns of lead in the urban microenvironments is presented in this paper. The moss bags experiment was carried out during 2011 in the city tunnel in Belgrade, as well as in street canyons at different heights (4, 8 and 16 m) and in public garages. The moss bags were exposed for 5 and 10 weeks. The results revealed that the 10 weeks period represents suitable exposure time in screening Pb isotopic composition in active biomonitoring analysis. The obtained results showed that the SOM analysis, by recognizing slight differences among moss samples regarding exposure time, horizontal and vertical spatial distribution, with both, contribution of stable lead isotopes and Pb concentration, could be recommended in biomonitoring analysis of lead distribution in urban microenvironments.

AB  - To compare the applicability of the leaves of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and linden (Tilia spp.) as biomonitors of trace element concentrations, a coupled approach of one-and two-dimensional Kohonen networks was applied for the first time. The self-organizing networks (SONs) and the self-organizing maps (SOMs) were applied on the database obtained for the element accumulation (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, V, As, Cd) and the SOM for the Pb isotopes in the leaves for a multiyear period (2002-2006). A. hippocastanum seems to be a more appropriate biomonitor since it showed more consistent results in the analysis of trace elements and Pb isotopes. The SOM proved to be a suitable and sensitive tool for assessing differences in trace element concentrations and for the Pb isotopic composition in leaves of different species. In addition, the SON provided more clear data on seasonal and temporal accumulation of trace elements in the leaves and could be recommended complementary to the SOM analysis of trace elements in biomonitoring studies.

AB  - Biomonitoring has been frequently used as a tool for assessing anthropogenic influences on the environment, and trees have been recognized as efficient ecological indicators of urban air quality. Variations of stable lead isotopic ratios have been suggested as a suitable method for the Pb source identification. Substantial methodological points are yet to be resolved regarding isotopic signatures in environmental studies, and especially within plant biomonitoring. This study has been focused on an assessment of stable lead isotopic ratios (Pb-206/Pb-207 and Pb-208/Pb-207)) for some common urban deciduous tree leaves (Aesculus hippocastanum, Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides and Betula pendula). The study was done in 2009, at the time when the leaded gasoline was still in use in Serbia, although during a time span when an increasing number of vehicles, using non-leaded gasoline, was evident. Thus, a decrease of the Pb emitted from leaded gasoline affected the atmospheric Pb concentrations. The measurements of the Pb isotopes were performed by ICP-MS on both, unwashed samples, and those shortly washed in bidistilled. The percentage of lead removed by applied rinsing was approximately the same in the first three above mentioned species (approximate to 30%), while the exception was B. pendula (22%), indicating the highest retention for fine and coarse particulates due to thick epicuticular wax layer. It may be suggested that leaf washing is useful approach when the aim is an assessment of the isotopic composition in leaves after a certain period of exposure, assuming contribution of possible sources. However, in case of screening for possible sources in particular time sequence, leaves may remain unwashed. The obtained isotopic composition in leaf samples partially corresponded to that used in the lead additive in gasoline, implying also an influence of other Pb sources. The results imply that, among the investigated tree species, B. pendula could be the most efficient indicator in multiple Pb source identification. From the obtained Pb isotopic ratios, A. hippocastanum was confirmed as an appropriate biomonitor for the Pb atmospheric pollution, as previously shown from the Pb leaf concentration analyses.

AB  - Variation in stable lead isotopic composition has been recognized as a suitable indicator for source identification of Pb contamination in the environment. Some deciduous tree leaves have been reported as useful biomonitors of trace elements atmospheric pollution including lead. The focus of this work was to examine a relationship between the Pb concentration and the stable isotopic ratios (Pb-206/Pb-207 and Pb-208/Pb-207) in leaves of common urban deciduous trees Aesculus hippocastanum and Tilia spp. in the biomonitoring approach for source identification within the Pb atmospheric contamination studies. The study took place over a period of several years (2002-2006, 2009) when leaded gasoline was still in use in the Belgrade urban area, but an increasing number of vehicles using non-leaded gasoline was evident during the investigated time span. This status of decreasing atmospheric Pb contamination also reflected the leaf Pb content of the studied trees. However, while the Pb content in the leaves decreased during the studied period, the isotopic ratio of Pb-206/Pb-207 concomitantly increased throughout the years. The obtained Pb isotopic ratios in the leaves indicated the major contribution of leaded gasoline to the leaf Pb content. The leaf Pb isotope ratios also followed the switch (from Australian - 2002/2003/2004 to Chinese origin - 2005/2006) of the Pb ore used as the gasoline lead additive through the investigated years. The results of this study indicated A. hippocastanum as more appropriate than Tilia spp. in biomonitoring the Pb source identification, showing more consistency of data obtained on leaf Pb isotopic composition and the isotopic ratios of gasoline used throughout all studied years.

AB  - Air quality biomonitoring using plant leaves has been widely applied to assess the effects of atmospheric pollution. Although practiced for many years, it has not given completely satisfactory data, due to different and even opposing results. This study comprises an investigation on the content of some trace elements (Al, As, Ba, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Cd, Pb) in leaves of four tree species common for the urban area of Belgrade (Serbia). The assay took place in July 2009 when the selected trees (Acer platanoides, Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, Tilia cordata) were in the maximum of physiological activity during the vegetation season. Among the investigated species, leaves of A. platanoides contained the highest concentrations of the measured elements. The assumption that a large green area in the Belgrade city periphery would be a suitable control site appeared to be disputable due to the substantial load of the elements obtained in the leaves. It was shown that even a short rinse with bidistilled water (3-5 s), applied twice to the leaves prior to chemical analysis, led to a significant decrease of some element concentrations (most pronounced for Al, Fe and Pb in all species, but also evident for Cu, Cr, Co and Zn for some of them). However, by washing leaves, the representativeness of leaf samples per studied site could be improved due to removal of some superficial loosely adhered impurities and so diminished large variability of element concentrations among leaf subsamples providing more representative information on the element content in leaves per site, and the area, respectively.

AB  - Leaves of common deciduous trees: horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and linden (Tilia spp.) from three parks within the urban area of Belgrade were studied as biomonitors of trace element (As, V, and Cd) atmospheric pollution. The May-September trace element accumulation in the leaves, and their temporal trends, were assayed in a multi-year period (2002-2006). Significant accumulation in the leaves was evident for As and V, but not so regularly for Cd. Slightly decreasing temporal trends of V and As accumulated in the leaf tissues were observed over the years. During the time span, the concentrations of Cd remained approximately on the same level, except in May 2002 and September 2005, when a rapid increase was observed. The May-September accumulations of As and V were higher in horse chestnut than in linden, although both may be used as biomonitors for these elements, and optionally for Cd in conditions of its high atmospheric loadings.
AB  - Jedna od posledica intenzivnog ekonomskog i industrijskog razvoja je povećana emisija zagađujućih supstancija u atmosferu. Drveće, posebno u urbanim sredinama, veoma je značajno sa aspekta prečišćavanja vazduha; pored toga, uočeno je da postoji korelacija između koncentracije pojedinih zagađujućih materija u vazduhu i u lišću drveća, što je iskorišćeno za biomonitoring kvaliteta vazduha. U ovom radu je ispitivana mogućnost biomonitoringa elemenata u tragovima u vazduhu pomoću dve vrste listopadnog drveća, divljeg kestena (Aesculus hippocastanum) i lipe (Tilia spp.), koje su veoma zastupljene u Beogradu. Uzorci su sakupljani na početku vegetacionog perioda, u maju, kao i na kraju vegetacionog perioda, u septembru, tokom pet godina, od 2002. do 2006. godine. U eksperimentalnom delu izvršena je analiza sadržaja elemenata u tragovima (arsen, vanadijum, kadmijum) u listovima navedenih vrsta drveća sakupljenim sa tri lokacije u Beogradu (Karađorđev park, Studentski park i Botanička bašta), koje su odabrane zbog intenzivnog saobraćaja. Poređenjem dobijenih vrednosti sa koncentracijama ispitivanih elemenata u suspendovanim česticama u vazduhu određen je stepen akumulacije i zaključeno je da se ispitivane vrste mogu koristiti za biomonitoring kvaliteta vazduha, odnosno njegove zagađenosti ispitivanim elementima u tragovima, pri čemu je divlji kesten imao bolje akumulativne sposobnosti.
