This study attempts to identify the influence of various aspects of human activities in three medium-sized Central European cities (Cottbus, Germany; Nitra, Slovakia and Słupsk, Poland) on air contamination. For comparison purposes, bark of Pinus sylvestris L. was collected from polluted and non-polluted urban areas. Nine elements: Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb and S were determined using microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry and elementary analyzer. Results of the study showed significant differences between the cities in term of elements content in pine bark. The differences reflected well specific character of the cities and various effects of human activity. Study revealed that elements spatial variability among the cities is driven by the factor loadings character and reflects various emission sources and their impact range.
本研究试图确定人类活动的各个方面在三个中欧中型城市（德国科特布斯、斯洛伐克的尼特拉和波兰的什切青）对空气污染的影响。为了进行比较，从受污染和未受污染的城市地区采集了欧洲赤松的树皮。使用微波等离子体原子发射光谱法、火焰原子吸收光谱法和元素分析仪测定了 9 种元素：Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn、Ni、Cd、Cr、Pb 和 S。研究结果表明，不同城市之间的松树皮元素含量存在显著差异。这些差异很好地反映了城市的特点和人类活动的各种影响。研究表明，城市之间元素的空间变异性是由因子负荷特征驱动的，反映了各种排放源及其影响范围。
