The aim of this paper was to study the metal accumulation in leaves and bark of Populus nigra L from atmosphere and in soil. The heavy metals, including Cu, Ni and Pb concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in leaf, bark and soil samples collected from four polluted areas in Tirupati and rural areas. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) was used in this analysis to obtain the concentration of the metals.
Key words: Bioaccumulation, metal accumulation, heavy metals, Populus nigra, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).
