Assessment of lead in roadside vegetation in Bahrain
Abstract Leaves from five species of trees were sampled at 18 locations in Bahrain and were analyzed for lead. Lead levels in leaves from areas with high traffic density were generally higher than lead levels in leaves from areas with low traffic density. The lead levels found in this study are in the range of 9μg/g to 420 μg/g, which is low compared to values reported for leaves of trees along busy roads in developed countries. However, the concentration of lead is increasing because of the extreme meteorological situation in Bahrain and the heavy traffic coming from other Gulf countries across King Fahad Causeway between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
