Lichens in Forest Park and Nitrogenous Air Pollution [PDF]
Lichens have been shown to be useful bioindicators for determining levels of nitrogen deposition related to air pollution. Preliminary lichen surveys in Forest Park in 2011 and 2012 revealed the presence of lichen species associated with high levels of ...

The study provides an eco‐friendly, nature‐based approach for biomonitoring and management of mining pollution to ensure aquatic ecosystem sustainability in sub‐Saharan Africa mining landscapes. We investigated the phytoindication and phytoremediation potential of Typha domingensis for the management of mining pollution in tropical lotic ecosystems ...

ABSTRACT Estimation and knowledge of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils and herbaceous plants are vital for ecotoxicological reasons. This study explored PTE accumulation in the aerial organ (leaf) of herbaceous plants in PTE‐contaminated soils in a linear transect of three localities close to the Litavka River in Pribram, Czech Republic.

A comprehensive method for processing lime mud from water treatment processes into high‐strength anhydrite cement was reported. The method involves the interaction of lime mud with waste sulfuric acid from the production of polymer fibers using a one‐step structure‐controlled approach in the (CaO·Ca(OH)2·CaCO3)—H2SO4—H2O system at a temperature of 40°C.

INVESTIGATION OF PHYTOINDICATION EFFECTS DUE TO CADMIUM CONTAMINATION [PDF]
Heavy metals are one of the most dangerous contaminants in the natural environment that cause toxic effects in the cells of plants and animals. They are not decomposed in the environment but consequently accumulated in the tissues of living organisms.

Staphylinid beetles as bioindicators [PDF]
The family Staphylinidae is one of the largest beetle families and is distributed worldwide in almost all types of ecosystems. The morpho-ecological characteristics of staphylinid beetle adults and developmental stages are summarized, and features pertaining to their potential use as bioindicators are highlighted.
