Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) is a widespread evergreen tree in Mediterranean andAegean regions of Turkey. The barks of Pinus brutia were tested as a possible biomonitor of Zn and Mn accumulation studied in Western Anatolia, Turkey. Samples collected from industry roadside, suburban and rural areas from thirty locations in the study area were investigated. The concentration of zinc and manganese were determined in the bark of the red pine by atomic absorption spectrometry. As a result of this study the following mean concentrations were determined: for Zn between min 8.4 and max 14.1 microg g(-1), and for Mn between min 19.1 and max 24.0 microg g(-1). It was found that there is no affect of location on the element concentration of both Mn and Zn.
土耳其赤松（Pinus brutia）是土耳其地中海和爱琴海地区广泛分布的一种常绿乔木。对土耳其赤松的树皮进行了测试，以作为在土耳其安纳托利亚西部研究锌和锰积累情况的一种可能的生物监测器。对从研究区域内30个地点的工业路边、郊区和农村地区采集的样本进行了调查。通过原子吸收光谱法测定了赤松树皮中锌和锰的浓度。这项研究的结果确定了以下平均浓度：锌的浓度在最低8.4至最高14.1微克/克之间，锰的浓度在最低19.1至最高24.0微克/克之间。研究发现，地点对锰和锌的元素浓度均无影响。
