features given in this survey are received in Elbasani town, ancient and
significant town positioned in central Albania. It is one of the largest cities
of Albania, with a population of around 140000 and an area of 900 km². It lies
down along Shkumbini River at elevation around 150 m above sea level. Microbiological
data on air pollution are given in this study, focusing on the choice of
stations to be in different areas and key points of the Elbasan city, thus
attempting to contaminate microbiological areas. In recent years, mainly in the
last two decades, many microbiological studies have been conducted for the
Elbasan city.<o:p></o:p>

In this paper are presented concentrations of organochlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in some medicinal plants from South-East Albania. Many medicinal plants grow in Albania due to appropriate Mediterranean climate. Twelve different species of medicinal plants were taken in May 2017 in Pogradeci-Korca-Kolonja-Permeti region (South-East Albania). 
Ultrasonic extraction used for extracting organochlorinated pesticides, their residues and PCBs from medicinal plant samples. Clean-up procedure was performed using firstly silicagel with sulfuric acid and a second clean-up procedure in an “open” florisil column. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was realized in HP 6890 Series II, gas chromatograph equipped with μECD detector. For separation of organochlorinated pesticides and PCB markers was used Rtx-5 capillary column (30m x 0.32mm x 0.25μm). 
The highest level of organochlorine pollutants was found to the samples of Mentha longifoglia L. because these plans were grow near the agricultural areas. The main origin of organochlorine pesticides could be as result of their previous uses for agricultural purposes. Profile PCB marker were as following: PCB 28 &gt; PCB 138 &gt; PCB 153. This fact confirms atmospheric origin of these compounds in the wild ecosystem of medicinal plants.

some mechanisms such as oxidation and corrosion. In order to protect metals
from deformation and effect of some agents, metal coating method may be used.
Hot galvanizing, thermal spraying, electroplating and sherardizing are some of
these methods and they depend on the type of metal which will be coated to
protect to metal materials. Zinc, nickel, brass, chrome, gold, cadmium, copper,
brass, and silver are the main materials used for metal coating process.
Chromium may be the most deteriorating one within these metals because it has
negative impacts on both human and other livings. It is found in the
environment in many forms and mined in different countries. Especially chromium
+6 is considered as carcinogenic and may lead to health problems such as
allergic reactions, nose irritations and nosebleed, stomach ulcer, weakened
immune system, genetic material alteration, stomach ulcer, kidney and liver
function disorders and death. Therefore, metal<o:p></o:p>

including high concentrations of chrome should be cleaned and treatment is
necessary. In this study wastewater containing chrome produced by metal coating
industry was analysed by using some plant species. In this study, the reaction
of some plant species was investigated against different concentrations of chrome
solution. Main plants used for the tests are Lepidium sativum and Lemna
minor. Examining the negative effects of chrome which may harm plants and
offering more accurate wastewater treatment techniques against chromium
wastewater is possible with this method. There is significant relation between
chromium concentration and toxic level on plant germination and growth rate.
Moreover, variance analysis was applied to the results taken from experimental
study in laboratory condition with selected level of chromium level and the significance
importance was determined with our results.<o:p></o:p>
