Abstract
The pollution with As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sb and Zn on the territory of Bulgaria has been evaluated
using standardized samples of leaves of Populus nigra ‘Italica’ collected during the last 10 years. Background values
for the respective elements are established in the leaves of the plant. The comparisons of urban and industrial
pollution to some other European countries indicate similar or lower concentrations. Using cluster analysis of the
analytical data the territory of Bulgaria is divided into six regions with different pollution levels
