The sea-front boulevard is a centrally located city 2-mile stripe with a bustling commotion of strollers going along a lively thoroughfare of never-ending flows of vehicles. This puts a technogenic strain upon the surrounding air. We start from a surmise that some parts of the sea-front boulevard should be heavily polluted and thereby create a certain health danger for people used to spend their spare time at this traditional strolling ground.
Starting from the well-known fact that needles of a conifer is ecologically susceptible with regard to adverse mixtures in the air, we decided to utilize the plain pine tree, abundantly growing along the sea-front boulevard, as a testing tool. On the basis of the obtained data, we planned to identify those spots along the sea-front boulevard that are most affected by the anthropogenous burden. The results are expected to be delivered to the ecological department of the City Council.

Gathering data |
| |
 |
- Select the areas along the sea-front boulevard of an intensive ecological strain
- Choose specific research points.
- Explore every second pine tree, in particular, the needles of the lateral offshoot in the fourth mooting branch from the stem.
- Estimate the degree of parching of the needles and classify the harm by the look of stains.
- Process the chamber data with the help of tables.
