Urban background air pollution is the lowest level of pollution representative for the
exposure of general urban population and mainly originates from non-local sources of …

Since the methodological parameters of moss bag biomonitoring have rarely been
investigated for the application in agricultural areas, two mosses, Sphagnum girgensohnii (a …

How long does it take a lichen to respond to changes (worsening or improvement) of
atmospheric conditions is still discussed. We selected and removed lichen thalli …

In light of growing concern and insufficient knowledge on the negative impact of aircraft
emissions on environmental health, this study strives to investigate the air burden of major …

Air traffic represents an important way of social mobility in the world, and many ongoing
discussions are related to the impacts that air transportation has on local air quality. In this …

Moss transplants of Hypnum cupressiforme and Sphagnum girgensohnii were tested for
efficiency in detection of airborne element pollution at a suburban background site during …

The selection of the appropriate biomonitor species is a crucial criterion for biomonitoring on
a broad spatial scale. Mosses Hypnum cupressiforme and Brachythecium spp. and lichen …

Nowadays, rare earth elements (REEs) represent a group of emerging pollutants due to their
growing application in industry and agriculture, hence, the environmental and human …

Magnetic biomonitoring using tree leaves has been proven as a proxy for airborne particle
matter (PM) pollution. Since the leaf entrapment of PM is species-specific, in this study, four …

Natural and human-induced adverse environmental factors pose a threat to the continuity of
the ecosystem equilibrium. Hemerobic events, such as a rapid climate change, should be …
