Trees species are suitable to be planted in the median of the road must be able to absorb and to reduce air pollution. Determination of leaf samples was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The measurement of dust was carried out using a laboratory experimental method, namely the gravimetric method. The results of the research show that the trees that have the greatest dust absorption ability on tanjung (Mimusops elengi) are 0.00123 gr/cm2 and trees that have the ability to lie falsely with mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni) are 0.00022 gr/cm2. Tanjung tree is a plant that has a high ability to absorb dust, has smooth, shiny leaves, curved leaves and curved upward, and fragrant flowers. Tanjung tree is the most effective tree planted in the median road for dust absorption. Tanjung trees are recommended to be planted in the median road so that dust in the air is reduced.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the traffic-related effects on morphological and anatomical traits of Fraxinus rotundifolia and Morus alba along the Malayer-Hamedan road. In the study area, populations of two species of F. rotundifolia (30 individual trees) and M. alba (30 individual trees) were selected for sampling. The results showed that the leaf and stomata dimensions at distances near to the roadside were significantly lower compared to longer distances from the road. For F. rotundifolia, the number of veins showed the lowest plasticity, while in case of M. alba, the stomata length (P = 0.52) and the number of veins (P = 0.54) showed the lowest plasticity related to the environmental conditions. Results of discriminant analysis for population grouping for the two species of F. rotundifolia and M. alba confirmed the accuracy of grouping 74.8% and 79.5%, respectively. In case of trees that were farther away from the road, guard and epidermal cells were located at the same level. We found that the leaf stomata in M. alba were closed more than in F. rotundifolia at the same distance. Totally, the results of this research show that the air pollution stress impacted the tree morphological traits. From the two species, F. rotundifolia was more resistant in terms of pollution stress.

Introduction. According to the materials of the World Health Organization, air pollutants are one of the most significant factors affecting the health of the population. The main urban air pollution source is road transport. The determination of air pollutants amount during the operation of the road-vehicles complex (RVC) with suspended substances is an important procedure for monitoring the risk to human health, planning, and evaluation of measures for the protection of residential areas ambient air. The existing methodical documents and regulations do not fully regulate important aspects of air pollution monitoring and assessment by-products caused by exhaust gases of the vehicle and emissions associated with the operation of the RVC. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the additional population health risks due to pollutants reaching the air of residential areas during the RVC operation. Material and methods. The method of emissions measurement reaching the air during the operation of the RVC is based on existing methodical documents and regulations. To assess the pollution, the data of observations of the intensity of traffic flow in different time periods in the experimental territories are used. The calculation of pollutants amount released into the air during the operational wear of the RVC is determined separately for the tire treads, brake system, and road pavement. Results. Guided by the constructed nomogram, taking into account distribution zone of the air pollution, it is possible to determine population health risk during the RVC operation in the city based on the calculation of the hazard coefficient. Discussion. On the basis of the calculations, data on the number of pollutants reaching the air during the RVC operation (wear of tire treads, brake system, road pavement) and from vehicles of various types for 1 year are presented. The data on the pollutants quantities generating on the road on a per 1 km car run basis, reaching the ambient air for various periods of time (hours, days) with the aim of the derivation of the spatial-temporal characteristics of the pollutants. On the basis of the obtained data, approximate calculations of the number of pollutants reaching the air during the operation of the RVC from all vehicles registered by St. Petersburg traffic police at the moment and the forecast for the period 2020 were carried out. Сonclusions. The given data on the hazard coefficient calculation of suspended solids emissions of RVC allow summarizing the risk from all the compartmental RVC sources. On the basis of the distance from the road to residential buildings presented in the nomogram, it is possible to determine an additional population health risk due to pollutants reaching the air during the RVC operation using a mathematical model of dispersion.

Lichen is often used as a bioindicator of air pollution in an area because it is sensitive to pollution. The morphological structure of lichen that does not have a cuticle, stomata, and absorptive organ, forces lichens to survive under the stress of pollutants found in the air. The sensitivity of lichen to air pollution can be seen through changes in diversity. The purpose of this study was to examine the diversity of species of lichens, to assess the environmental conditions and shade trees as habitat for lichens in the city of Semarang. The research was conducted from October to November 2017 using the purposive random sampling method. Sampling was conducted at three research stations, namely: Mangkang Terminal, Simpang Lima Area, and Undalang Tembalang Campus. Based on the results of research at the three observation stations, 18 lichen species were obtained, 13 species were identified and 5 species were not identified. Lichen obtained as many as 8 families, namely Arthoniaceae, Caloplacaceae, Physciaceae, Graphidaceae, Lecanoraceae, Lecidellaceae, Leprariaceae and Parmeliaceae. These types of lichen belong to the talus group foliose and crustose. The shade tree that is most overgrown with lichens is mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index values in the three research stations were: Terminal Mangkang (1.88), Simpang Lima Region (2.95), and Undip Tembalang Campus (3.71). The highest number of species and number of individuals is at the Undip Tembalang Campus, with a total of 17 species and 295 individuals lichen. Dirinaria spp. is the most found species in all three research stations.   Lichen sering dipakai sebagai bioindikator pencemaran udara di suatu daerah karena sifatnya yang sensitif terhadap polusi. Struktur morfologi lichen yang tidak memiliki lapisan kutikula, stomata, dan organ absorptif, memaksa lichen untuk bertahan hidup di bawah cekaman polutan yang terdapat di udara. Sensitivitas lichen terhadap pencemaran udara dapat dilihat melalui perubahan keanekaragamannya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji keanekaragaman jenis lichen, mengkaji kondisi lingkungan dan pohon peneduh sebagai habitat lichen di Kota Semarang. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober hingga November 2017 menggunakan metode purposive random sampling. Sampling dilakukan di tiga stasiun penelitian, yakni: Terminal Mangkang, Kawasan Simpang Lima, dan Kampus Undip Tembalang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di ketiga stasiun pengamatan, diperoleh 18 spesies lichen, 13 spesies berhasil diidentifikasi dan 5 spesies belum teridentifikasi. Lichen yang diperoleh sebanyak 8 famili yakni Arthoniaceae, Caloplacaceae, Physciaceae, Graphidaceae, Lecanoraceae, Lecidellaceae, Leprariaceae dan Parmeliaceae. Jenis lichen tersebut termasuk dalam kelompok talus foliose dan crustose. Pohon peneduh yang paling banyak ditumbuhi lichen adalah mahoni (Swietenia mahagoni). Nilai indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener di ketiga stasiun penelitian yaitu: Terminal Mangkang (1,88), Kawasan Simpang Lima (2,95), dan Kampus Undip Tembalang (3,71).
