In this study, the quantity of deposited particles on some trees leaves at
Syrian coast has been determined; and the seasonal changes in the
concentration of trace metals (Zn,Mn,Cd,Pb) at both sides corresponding
to the land and sea have been identified.
This study deals with the determination of the quantity of solid dust particles deposed
on the leafs of some trees along Syrian coast and the concentration of some heavy metals
in it (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cd, Co, Mn) .Some sites near to human and in
dustrials activities ,
and others near to agriculture activities , and others relatively far from pollution sources
has been selected. The results showed that the quantity of solid dust particles on leafs
trees and concentration of heavy metals in it such as (Pb, Ni, Cd, Co) increasing near the
industrials activities and dense traffic, and decreasing in the sites that relatively far from of
pollution sources. However Cypress trees attach solid quantities more than Pride of china,
following Rever red gum and Blue-leafed wattle and Oleander, and the Palm tree come in
the last.

The effect of salinity and the treatment with fungicide on seed germination of Cupressus
sempervirens L. was investigated.
Five concentrations of salinity (0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10%) were used. One part of the seeds was
treated with fungicides (Benomyl
), while the other part was germinated without fungicide
treatment. The results showed that seed germination was reduced by salinity, but the reduction was
more pronounced without fungicide and with salt concentration, the seeds didn't germinate at 5 and
10% NaCl.
Despite the decrease of germination indices with the increase of salt concentrations, the
statistical results didn't show significant differences in salinity concentrations and the control in
germination speed without fungicide, but they were significant with the fungicide. The statistical
results showed significant differences between the presence and absence of fungicide in all
treatments
