Abstract

Concentrations of K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Sr, Cu, Br, Rb, Pb in fruits of dog rose (Rosa canina) collected in areas with various technogenic load: Novosibirsk, Istaravshan City (Tajikistan), Gorny Altai have been determined by the method of X-ray fluorescence analysis using the synchrotron radiation (SRXRF). The highest concentrations of essential elements (K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) have been discovered for samples from Istaravshan City. It has been found that in pulp of plant fruits growing near the highway (Novosibirsk) concentrations of essential elements of K, Mn, Fe are several times lower, in comparison with data for the territory not experiencing the technogenic load (the forest area of Novosibirsk) and the concentration of Pb in them does not exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC).
