Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This study aimed to estimate the level of air pollution in some portable\u00a0 heavy metals (lead and copper) in dust quarries by leaves of Laurus<\/em> nobilis<\/em> and Myrtus<\/em> communis<\/em> as biomonitor In site of Kfardabeel Stand- Jableh. The samples of dust and leaves were collected at the end of bioindicator July in 2020, Atomic\u00a0 absorption\u00a0 spectrophotometer was\u00a0 used\u00a0 to\u00a0 determine\u00a0 the amounts of lead and copper (ppm, dry weight).The average of accumulated metals in the Laurus and Myrtus\u00a0 leaves were estimated: (Cu=10.24 ppm ,Pb=0.68ppm) \u00a0(Cu=10.28ppm, Pb =0.64ppm), while their amounts in the dust were done as following: (Cu=5.45 ppm, Pb =0.16 ppm).The results showed a correlation between heavy metals amounts in the leaves and their amounts in the trapped dust (r= 0.83) was detected, also regression equations have explained the variations in accumulation of studied metals in relation to the accumulated dust on leaves as following: Cu20%, 46% Pb. Consequently results confirmed the possibility of detecting the atmospheric Cu ,Pb pollution in the studied site using Laurus<\/em> nobilis<\/em> and Myrtus<\/em> communis<\/em> leaves as a biomonitor.<\/span><\/p>\n
