Abstract:

This study deals with the determination of the quantity of solid dust particles deposed on the leafs  of some trees  along Syrian coast and the concentration of some heavy metals in it (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cd, Co, Mn) .Some sites near to human and industrials activities , and others near to agriculture activities , and others relatively far  from pollution sources has been selected. The results showed that the quantity of  solid dust particles  on leafs trees and  concentration of heavy metals in it such as (Pb, Ni, Cd, Co) increasing near the industrials activities and dense  traffic, and decreasing in the sites that relatively far from of pollution sources. However Cypress trees attach solid quantities more than Pride of china, following Rever red gum and Blue-leafed wattle and Oleander, and the Palm tree come in the last.
