Abstract
The ability of 128 plant species from 44 families and 28 genera of the Far East flora to accumulate lead was investigated. A substantial range of deviation was revealed for lead content in the assimilative organs of plants: 0,81-25,67 mg/kg of the dry matter. The major regularities of metal accumulation in the plants of different systematic taxons and biomorphological groups were established. Plants were grouped on the basis of the intensity of lead accumulation, and metal concentrating species were determined. Species promising for phytoindication and phytoremediation of the urban environment are recommended.
