Abstract

The present study was carried-out at the Horticulture Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center (A.R.C.). Alexandria, Egypt during the spring and autumn seasons of 2015. The aim was to investigate the effect of phytoremediation of air pollution using some plants (Nerium oleander and Pittsporum Tobira) in three locations in the Alexandria city. We applied these work in three different sites in Alexandria city which namely, (1) El-Ebrahimeya, (2) El- Dekhela and (3) Antoniadis garden (Control). The results showed that the concentrations of lead, cadmium and zinc elements were the highest in the Dekhela region soil compared with other areas . Lead element was a higher concentration at the sector 30-60cm compared with the sector 0-30cm. Analyzing the leachates of polluted leaves, stem and roots, it has been detected that in both species studied, the concentrations of lead, cadmium ans zinc was the highest in Dekhela compared with those obtained in Antoniades garden region.
