Abstract

The content of lead, zinc and copper in the leaves and the bark of fir as well as in the surface layer of the soil beneath the sample trees was studied in the city of Skopje. The investigation was carried out during the whole 1990 by collecting the monthly samples. The samples were taken from five points in the city: Sredno Vodno, - the region that we considered as a relatively clear area; Dolno Vodno - next to the State Hospital; City Park; Žena Park - in the center of the city; and Avtokomanda - industrial part of the city. The highest values of lead content were registered in Žena Park and Avtokomanda and the lowest in Sredno Vodno and City Park. The highest values of zinc content were measured in Avtokomanda and Žena Park and the lowest, in Sredno Vodno and Dolno Vodno. Similar to other two elements, the highest values of copper content were registered in Žena Park and Avtokomanda, and lower in Sredno Vodno and City Park.
