Air pollution is the change in air composition that disrupts human health and environmental balance. Although natural and anthropogenic processes include crustal movements, photosynthesis, and plant and animal emissions, other sources of contamination also include industrial operations, transportation activities, household resources, and the chemical and metal industries. Thus, biomonitoring can be employed as a quick, affordable, and efficient method for estimating air pollution. In this study, some inorganic pollutants were detected using olive trees (Olea europaea L.) at eleven different points, depending on the traffic density in Artvin, Turkey. Trace element concentrations (Cr, Ti, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Pb, Al, and Mn) were measured in soil once a year and seasonally in plant samples with ICP-OES. Furthermore, basic component analyses total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), total hydrogen (TH), and total sulfur (TS) were done with an elemental analyzer, total chlorophyll contents with a portable chlorophyll meter, and morphological and particle-based plant analyses with SEM-EDS. The pollution levels of these metals were calculated using the enrichment factor (EF) and geoaccumulation index (I geo ) parameters. Furthermore, the accuracy and validity tests of the analyses for trace metals were tested by applying certified reference materials (CRM) (ERM-CD281) for the plant samples and CRM (LGC-6187) for soil samples. Results indicated that soil trace element pollution distributions were ranked according to the following descending order: Fe (37,873.33 mg/kg) > Al (13,300 mg/kg) > Mn (1101.33 mg/kg) > Ti (353.5 mg/kg) > Zn (252.86 mg/kg) > Cu (87.77 mg/kg) > Cr (30.52 mg/kg) > Pb (19.65 mg/kg) > Ni (17.07 mg/kg) > Co (7.65 mg/kg). Moreover, air pollution from anthropogenic sources substantially increased average trace metal concentrations and sulfur emissions in autumn and winter. The average highest values of Fe (321.08 mg/kg) > Al (304.05 mg/kg) > Mn (32.75 mg/kg) > Zn (31.01 mg/kg) > Cu (17.92 mg/kg) > Ti (11.07 mg/kg) Cr (2.57 mg/kg) > Ni (17.07 mg/kg) were found in leaf samples taken from the roadside in autumn and winter. According to the EF and I geo values, the main polluting trace elements in the soil were Zn, Cu, and Pb, while in the plant, these were detected as Fe, Al, Ti, Cr, Ni, and Cu. Kruskal-Wallis and correlation analysis statistically supported this relationship among metals. Results show that olive leaves are an effective bioindicator for detecting urban air pollution.
