It has been shown that mosses and lichens, in spite of all disadvantages, are good tools for
air pollution monitoring, but best results could be achieved while using both of them …

Here we present a critical review of diverse research studies involving estimation of
atmospheric deposition of heavy metals from the concentrations of the contaminants in …

Total heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) concentrations were evaluated in smelting waste,
soil, crop and moss samples collected from the Hezhang artisanal zinc smelting areas …

The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd),
chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), and vanadium (V) in soil and …

The particulate matter (PM) pollution of Beijing fluctuated significantly before and after
precipitation events during the rainy period. The rainwater samples were continually …

Mosses and leaves of vascular plants have been used as bioindicators of environmental
contamination by heavy metals originating from various sources. This study aims to compare …

The atmospheric deposition of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, V and Zn in Hungary was investigated
by using moss species as bioindicators. Our research was part of an international mapping …

In agricultural soils, the contamination of heavy metals has become a major source of soil
pollution in the world because of intensive agriculture practices. This paper aimed to assess …

Pine needles are reliable passive bio-samplers that can be used to monitor atmospheric
pollution levels. This study applied Pb isotope and multivariate statistical analyses to pine …

Bryophytes act as bioindicators and bioaccumulators of metal deposition in the environment.
To understand the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals (cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) …
