- To assess the heavy metal (HM) accumulation in selected roadside plant species.
- The concentration of HM in plant species from the location with heavy traffic.
- Plant species with low HM accumulation potential should be preferred to minimize the risk of HM pollution.
- Roadside plants can play a pivotal role as bioindicators of HM pollution, aiding in environmental monitoring and management efforts.
- Directly and indirectly supports to various types of sustainable development goals (SDG).
