Abstract
Concentrations of 22 trace and nutritional elements in yew, pine and spruce needles collected from urban and industrial areas were determined by induc tively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Dependence of concentra tions of trace elements in conifers species on sampling site was investigat ed. Various procedures of sample digestion (different acids, conventional h ot plate and microwave digestion methods, dry ashing) were examined and dis cussed.
