Abstract

Olive tree were planted in Esfahan some industrial zones and highways as green space. Therefore fruit pollution by heavy metals will be accured. Soil, water, leaves and fruit were sampled. Sites were study located in Bama Pb and Zn mine, CaCO3 mine, Fuladshahr city, Esfahan petroleum refinery, and some of Esfahan highway green space. Arsenic content of fruit and leaves did'nt measured by ATM (not in detect limitation). Only Cd abserved in some fruit samples. In Kashan fruit samples did'nt measured any heavy metals.). In all studies, attention to cadmium should be given special attention. The latter can indicate less pollution of water, soil and plant resources in areas with much less traffic, industry and population. In general, it can be concluded that in order to create green space in industrial areas, roadsides and urban thoroughfares, the planting of olive trees and other fruit trees that are edible should be avoided.
