Abstract

This article analyzes the ability of woody plants to metabolize benzapyrene and shows the assessment of the level of long-term air pollution in the city of Kemerovo by benzapirene from the industrial area with the help of modelling approach. Metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene - B(a)P-1,3-dione, 1-hydroxy-B(a)P and B(a)P- 7,8- dihydrodiol are identified in extracts of Sorbus sibirica Hedl. leaves. It is found that there is a close correlation between the sum of relative abundance of hydroxyl derivatives of benzapyrene (?OH-B(a)P) of S. sibirica leaves and air pollution by benzapirene (Q).
