A comparative study was carried out on the capabilities of the two species Paulownia elongata and Paulownia fortunei, as biomonitors of atmospheric (and soil) heavy metal pollution. Research of the content of heavy metals nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) in leaves of the species Paulownia elongata growing under urban and suburban conditions with the comparison to the concentration of these elements in leaves of the species Paulownia elongata and Paulownia fortunei on an experimental plot in Bela Crkva (Serbia), twice as low as the concentration measured under extreme urban conditions (6.62 microgram/g, or 4.54 microgram/g in the immediate vinicity of suburban traffic lines). Inasmuch as Paulownia elongata endures urban conditions well, it can be recommended for cultivation in parks, tree alleys, and wind-protection zones along urban and regional traffic lines.
