In this paper, we review the current understanding on ecosystem and human health impacts
from the atmospheric deposition of acidifying pollutants, eutrophying nitrogen (N), polycyclic …

Owing to their toxicity, persistence and capacity for long-range atmospheric transport,
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are internationally regulated. However, forests can …

Terrestrial mosses have been used for more than 50 years to monitor air pollution. We
argue, however, that their value as biomonitors is based on two widespread but partially …

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 …

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

Bryophytes are a large group of plants commonly used as bioindicators of metal and
metalloid pollution. However, very little is known about the bryophyte genes responsible for …

Air pollution represents a serious worldwide problem as atmospheric deposition of
pollutants widely affects human and wildlife health. Heavy metals are significant pollutants …

The continuous discharge of diverse chemical products in the environment is nowadays of
great concern to the whole world as some of them persist in the environment leading to …

Terrestrial mosses are promising tracers for research concerning metal atmospheric
deposition and pollution. Concentrations of Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, Sr, Cd, Ba, and Pb in different …

Anthropogenic activities have increased exposure to heavy metal pollution in previously
uncontaminated ecosystems, threatening plant communities. Considering that phenotypic …
