Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by
emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources …

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 …

Geostatistics involves the fitting of spatially continuous models to spatially discrete data.
Preferential sampling arises when the process that determines the data locations and the …

This study evaluated the contribution of anthropogenic pollution to toxic metal residues (Cd,
Pb and As) in cattle in an industrialized area of Asturias (northern Spain), and investigated …

Heavy metal air pollution poses a serious threat to human health and the environment in
Chinese tourist cities. In this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial variations of …

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 …

We have observed the effect of copper and zinc on the biology of Euglena gracilis. The cells
displayed different sensitivities to these metals, as the apparent LC50 for Cu2+ was 0.22 …

Atmospheric trace metals entail significant damages in human health and ecosystem safety,
and thus a series of clean air actions have been implemented to decrease the ambient …

Mosses and lichens are among the best biogenic dust collectors and these can be used in
detailed studies of airborne pollutants. In this study, magnetic and chemical measurements …

Abstract Evaluation was made of the degree to which samples of terrestrial mosses
(Scleropodium purum and Hypnum cupressiforme) collected in Galicia (NW Spain) were …
