Recent records of environmental contamination noted a moderate decrease of SO2
pollution, whereas the burden of atmospheric heavy metals is still considerable. The present …

Bryophytes, a group of terrestrial plants widely used in biomonitoring, are reviewed for their
relation to heavy metals. In the present article, we summarized the knowledge on heavy …

Submersed plants can be useful in reducing heavy metal concentrations in stormwater,
since they can accumulate large amounts of heavy metals in their shoots. To investigate the …

Effects of cadmium, copper, and zinc on the aquatic plant Lemna gibba were determined
under controlled conditions; in parallel their removal from the growth medium was followed …

A comprehensive understanding of the uptake, tolerance, and transport of heavy metals by
plants will be essential for the development of phytoremediation technologies. In the present …

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 …

Although native macroalgae have been used for biomonitoring purposes since the 1950s, a
standardized protocol that would enable widespread implementation of the technique has …

We analyzed the influence of salts of two heavy metals—lead and cadmium (Pb2+ and
Cd2+) on plants, including plant and root size, plant genome stability as well as global …

This research examined the impact of heavy metals, including Cd, Pb, and Zn, on
chlorophyll content and lamina cell structure in Bryum coronatum. After exposure to varying …

This paper reviews the chemical behaviour of heavy metals in soil, the effect of heavy metals
on plants and humans, and describes phytoremediation, which is the use of green plants to …
