<b>Study of atmospheric pollution levels by trace elements analysis of tree bark and leaves</b>

The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, and Mn in leaf and bark samples of 7 tree species at 22 sampling locations with different pollution levels, in Ogbomoso, Nigeria, were investigated. The metal concentrations (mean  RSD in g g-1) in leaf and bark samples, respectively, were: Pb, 20370, 282...
