For the first time active moss biomonitoring was used to assess trace element deposition in
the capital of the Republic of Moldova, Chisinau. Moss Sphagnum girgensohnii samples …

This article reports on an interdisciplinary evaluation of the pilot phase of a community-
driven civic science project. The project investigates the distribution of heavy metals in air …

As the global toll on human lives and ecosystems exacted by urban pollution grows,
planning tools still lack the resolution to identify priority sites where toxic pollution can be …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread pollutants that are costly to
measure with air quality instruments. We used a spatially balanced sample of an epiphytic …

We conducted a high-resolution study of lead in an urban moss, Orthotrichum lyellii, to better
understand lead distributions and sources in Portland, Oregon (United States). The outdoor …

The use of bio-indicators is an emerging, cost-effective alternative approach to identifying air
pollution and assessing the need for additional air monitoring. This community science …

Heavy metal concentrations often vary at small spatial scales not captured by air monitoring
networks, with implications for environmental justice in industrial‐adjacent communities …

Metals are among the pollutants of highest concern in urban areas due to their persistence,
bioavailability and toxicity. High concentrations of metals threaten aquatic ecosystem …

This paper reports a current source apportionment study of trace elements and black carbon
in particulate matter in industrial Southeast Portland, Oregon. The study aimed to determine …
