Abstract

The concentration of lead in yew leaves (Taxus baccata L.) in urban areas (the city of Zagreb) was compared to that in non-urban woody areas (Mount Medvednica) between 3rd January and 15th February 1990. The samples differed significantly according to the lead concentration in the leaves with regard to traffic volume and road distances. The researched data established the following function of interdependence between the concentration of lead in yew leaves, and the distance from the main roads and traffic volume was established: CPb-inside=f(L,G).

Keywords
