Summary:Plants can be used as bioindicators providing information on environmental quality or environmental change and as biomonitors when providing information on the amount of pollutants. The main polluter of the influence area of the thermal power plant is ash, resulting from the combustion of coal with a low content of heavy metals. The paper assesses the content of heavy metals in the local environment caused by Thermal Station. The control of the degree of pollution with heavy metals Zn ,Cu, Co, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd from soil, and vegetables crops are achieved by AAS instrumental analysis under optimum conditions.
