The aim of this research was to quantify
the content of hazardous elements in the needles of
Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) in the natural habitats
that were accumulated from thermal power plants,
mines, and metal processing industry. Fifteen natural
populations of the Norway spruce were sampled from
the mountain ranges in Southeastern Europe (Dinaric
Alps and Balkan Mountains). Two-year-old spruce
needles were evaluated the content of the following
hazardous elements: heavy metals cadmium, mercury,
nickel, lead and zinc, and metalloid arsenic. The effect
of the distance between air pollution emitters and the
Norway spruce natural habitats on the hazardous elements
content in needles was also evaluated. The
results of the analysis of variance confirmed interpopulation
differences in the content of all analyzed hazardous elements. The effect of the air pollution
source (thermal power plants, mines, and industry) on
the content of hazardous elements in the spruce needles
was also assessed. Significant correlation was
found between the distance of air pollution emitters
and the amount of zinc. This study could serve as the
startup point of future monitoring programs and provide
new prospect of using Norway spruce needles
as the bioindicator of air pollution with hazardous
elements on Balkan Peninsula since the fact that the
Norway spruce natural populations inhabit wide geographic
range of the continental Europe, from the Balkan
Peninsula, over European Alps to Scandinavia and
a large-scale of altitude from 980 to 1860 m above sea
level.
