Mosses were proved as an ideal and reliable biomonitor as well as an indicator of
atmospheric trace metal pollution. They are used as model indicator species of air pollution …

Human activity as a result of civilization development contributes to creating new sources of
environmental pollution. Air pollution is one of the major problems because it affects the …

Environmental biomonitoring is an excellent supplement to instrumental methods of
environmental quality assessment. The use of biological methods has many advantages …

Urban networks of air-quality monitors are often too widely spaced to identify sources of air
pollutants, especially if they do not disperse far from emission sources. The objectives of this …

This is the first study to use moss transplants as a biomonitoring technique and inductively
plasma mass spectrometry to investigate airborne potentially toxic element pollution and air …

As airborne pollution is recognised as the single largest environmental health hazard in
Europe, the necessity to develop effective systems for monitoring and reducing the level of …

Despite its small size, a moss bag can reveal the different temporal and spatial deposition
patterns of pollutants at a particular site; therefore, researchers can use moss bags to …

This study established a comprehensive picture of airborne metal pollution in the industrial
urbanized area of the East of Algiers (Algeria). Thalli of the epiphytic lichen Pseudevernia …

ABSTRACT Three moss (Pleurozium spp., Polytrichum spp., and Rhytidiadelphus spp.) and
two lichen (Hypogymnia physodes and Pseudevernia furfuracea) taxons covered in the …

This study was performed in organic vineyard to assess integrated pollution in soil–plant–air
system by potentially toxic elements (PTE). Concentrations of 26 PTE were determined in …
