Özet
The study investigates the changes in heavy metal concentrations in the leaves of urban trees in Chessmaster Park in Astana, Kazakhstan. Samples were collected from areas located 10–15 m from the main road (high pollution), 15–30 m from the secondary road (moderate pollution), and 30–80 m from the non-road (low pollution). Air pollution data for 2020 and 2021 was sourced from Kazhydromet, and graphs were created. The findings indicate that traffic-related pollution has led to significant variations in the accumulation of most heavy metals, except for manganese, nickel, and zinc. In areas of light and moderate pollution where Betula pendula was present, higher concentrations of zinc (197.488 and 481.275 mg kg−1), and manganese (163.07 and 157.741 mg kg−1) were observed, while lead (3.123 mg kg−1) was found in higher concentrations in the moderate pollution zones. Silver concentrations were …
