StevanoviA (b) Keywords: Airborne particles; Trace metals; Tree leaves; Urban pollution; SEM-EDAX Abstract: In 1996 and 1997 horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) and Turkish hazel (Corulys colurna L.) leaves were sampled at 2m height in the Belgrade Botanic Garden, located in an urban area with heavy traffic. Using a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDAX), the size, size distribution, morphology and chemical composition of individual particles were examined on the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaf discs of both species. The majority of particles observed on leaves belonged to a class of fine particles (D Author Affiliation: (a) Environmental Physics Laboratory, Institute of Physics, University of Belgrade, 11080 Zemun, Pregrevica 118, Serbia and Montenegro (b) University of Belgrade, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Institute of Botany and Botanic Garden, Takovska 43, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro Article History: Received 12 May 2004; Revised 29 March 2005; Accepted 30 March 2005
