Interest in paulownia got its momentum around the world. With its fastgrowing nature and large leaf surfaces this species can absorb significantamounts of sulfur dioxide and dust particles.The cities of Tuzla and Lukavac, as most other Bosnian-Herzegovinian towns,have a number of geo-ecological problems, and the most pronounced one isnegative anthropopressing on the atmospheric complex and pedosphericcover. This area, especially during the winter period, has a disrupted airquality where the greatest polluters are individual heating places, transport,industry, and energy sector. The pedologic cover of the wider area of Tuzlaand Lukavac has suffered significant changes and is largely devastated. Theprocesses of destruction of soils lead to complete destruction or formation of anew land with modified characteristics. High rainfall is a major cause ofdestabilization of slopes, but also is the negative anthropogenic activity in thearea. Landslides have caused significant material damages, particularly in theresidential structures of slope zones of the mentioned cities and suburbanareas. This paper presents the basic biological characteristics of woodyspecies paulownia elongata, and the possibility of planting it in areas that arenow unused so to improve the quality of air, as well as on surfaces that arethreatened by landslides.

Lukavac, as many other Bosnian and Herzegovinian industrial cities, especially in the winter period, hasdeteriorated air quality and the greatest polluters are industry, individual heating and transportation. Consideringthat Lukavac is situated in the valley in which numerous industrial facilities are installed, in the periods ofunfavorable weather conditions the town and its surroundings are naturally predisposed for additional airpollution. In this paper we analyze the possibility to form bioparks, which would have positive impacts on theecological and economic conditions in Lukavac and similar environments. To establish the bioparks, the degradedand abandoned land surfaces, caused by soil erosion or the surface exploitation of mineral resources, could beused. These are located at numerous locations and cover large areas, both in Lukavac and in other industrialareas in Bosnia and Herzegovina.This paper presents the basic biological characteristics of paulownia and possibilities of planting this tree in areasthat are now unused, in the space which is characterized by extreme pollution of atmospheric complex. Theselected method is bioremediation, and in this case it is the planting of biological material or woody plant speciesPaulownija elongata. In this way the degraded surfaces would get the function of biological parks, that is, theywould become "oxygen producer" surfaces, and absorbers of CO2 which is emitted from industrial plants. Thisspecies has rapid growth and development of biomass, so the bioparks could be used to serve as the surfaces foralternative fuel with minimal amounts of sulfur, and also as eco - educational parks.
