Foliar Uptake of Toxic Metals Bound to Airborne Particulate Matter in an Urban Environment by Triratnesh Gajbhiye, Sudhir Kumar Pandey, Ki-Hyun Kim

“…Abstract In this research, the foliar uptake patterns of three toxic metals (Pb, Cd, and Cu) bound to airborne particulate matter (PM) were investigated using two evergreen tree species (Senna siamea and Alstonia scholaris) at six different locations (two residential, traffic, commercial, and industrial) plus one control site in a subtropical urban environment. The concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Cu were measured from foliar dust, leaf, road dust, and soil samples collected from the target sites over two consecutive years. …”
