Evaluate some pollution levels by studying some general characteristics Olive leaves (five)
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the pollution of olive tree leaves with some heavy elements such as (pb,cd) the olive tree is considered to be of great importance as it plays a major role in terms of nutrition, medicine and cosmetics.
There is a strong and strong relationship between the quality of these trees and the
health and clarity of their leaves. Therefore, we conducted a study on olive tree leaves in the city of Khoms and its suburbs in several different areas and determined the impact of pollution on the leaves of these trees and the level of pollution occurring in them and the extent of its negative impact on them and thus on their agricultural product, and estimating the percentage of moisture and ash in them as Several samples of olive leaves were taken from different places in the city of Khoms close to the sources of pollution. The percentage of heavy elements differed from one region to another by small percentages as the percentage of lead ranged between (0.13-0.19) and cadmium values ranged between (0.0-1.54)and the percentage of ash was between (20-30%), while the percentage of moisture was between (12-60%).In general ,most of the results were in Internationally permissible values except for an increase in the cadmium element in the Celine sample, sample No.
