Sivas is a central Anatolian city in Turkey with mid-population. Due to its geographical structure high air pollution episodes can be observed in the atmosphere of Sivas. A study with city wide sampling campaign can help to identify the possible sources. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the multi-elemental and multi-point analysis of trace metals in street dusts and tree leaves in Sivas. In the street dusts, Ca concentration was > 10%. Fe, Cl, and K contribution was 2.5%, 1.75%, and 1.1%, respectively. The average S and Ti concentrations were between 1 and 10 mg/g, I, Mn, Sr, Cr, V, Ba, Zn, Ni, Zr, and Cu were between 1 and 0.1 mg/g, and W, Pb, Sn, Th, Rb, Sb, Co, Bi, As, U were between 0.1 and 0.01 mg/g, in the ascending order. The same elements were investigated for vegetation. Ca, K, S, and Cl were the elements with highest contribution.
锡瓦斯是土耳其安纳托利亚中部的一个中等城市，人口较多。由于其地理位置，锡瓦斯的大气中经常出现高空气污染事件。在全市范围内进行采样活动的研究有助于确定可能的来源。因此，我们旨在研究锡瓦斯街道灰尘和树叶中痕量金属的多元素和多点分析。在街道灰尘中，Ca 浓度大于 10%。Fe、Cl 和 K 的贡献率分别为 2.5%、1.75%和 1.1%。平均 S 和 Ti 浓度在 1 至 10 mg/g 之间，I、Mn、Sr、Cr、V、Ba、Zn、Ni、Zr 和 Cu 在 1 至 0.1 mg/g 之间，而 W、Pb、Sn、Th、Rb、Sb、Co、Bi、As 和 U 在 0.1 至 0.01 mg/g 之间，按升序排列。同样的元素也在植被中进行了调查。Ca、K、S 和 Cl 是贡献最大的元素。
