The concentrations of 26 elements were determined by k (0-)INAA using Kayzero for Windows software. Generally, the element concentrations in samples from urban areas were found to be higher than those of control area. Tilia argentea Desf. ex DC. may be an effective biomonitor for As, Br, Ca, Cl, Cr, Fe, Hf, K, Sb, Sc, Sr, and Th.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessK(0)-InaaBiomonitorTree LeavesTree TwigsTurkish Red PineTrace-ElementsHeavy-MetalDeciduous TreesLeavesAccumulationPollutionL.TranslocationPartConference Object2-s2.0-8496007943410.1007/s10967-016-4750-43821Q2373309Q2WOS:000378410600050
