Urban air pollution in cities, among the world's most critical problems, has escalated to such
an extent that it threatens human health in many urban centers and causes the death of …

The principal problem in dense cities is air pollution and the damage to the environment
caused by air pollution. Roadside landscape plants are exposed to air pollutants, especially …

In recent decades, naturally growing mosses have been used successfully as biomonitors of
atmospheric deposition of heavy metals and nitrogen. Since 1990, the European moss …

We assessed the association between the natural environment and asthma in 49,956 New
Zealand children born in 1998 and followed up until 2016 using routinely collected data …

Atmospheric heavy metal (HM) pollution may pose a significant threat to the fragile
ecosystem of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). To investigate potential atmospheric HM …

The inputs of ten trace elements (As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn) to French
agricultural soils have been assessed. The six main sources considered were: pesticides …

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 …

Currently, the most important guideline for the application of the moss technique to monitor
the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals is the “Heavy metals, nitrogen and POPs in …
