Abstract in brief

The study investigates how limestone dust and lead pollution affect the growth and physiological functions of three urban tree species, revealing variations in their tolerance and ability to withstand pollution.
Among the trees studied, one species showed the highest resilience by effectively managing oxidative stress and maintaining better physiological performance under pollution stress.
The findings suggest that certain tree species, particularly the most tolerant one, are suitable for planting in polluted urban areas to help mitigate environmental contamination caused by heavy metals and dust.]
