Does heavy metal deposition affect nutrient uptake by moss Pleurozium schreberi? [PDF]
Heavy metals may influence chemical composition of plants, and thus shape elemental stoichiometry of plant communities. That is because some physiological processes aiming at neutralization of contaminant toxicity require increased acquisition of some ...

Trends of atmospheric heavy metal deposition in Lithuania
The results of long-term measurements of heavy metal (Pb, Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cd, Fe, As, Hg) concentrations carried out at the Aukstaitija and Žemaitija integrated monitoring stations (IMS) are presented in this work. The average annual concentrations of heavy metals in the air in 2007–2008 and in precipitation over the period 2006–2010 are analysed ...

Potential ecological risk and accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in soils of Macao in China as a non-industrial and tourist City [PDF]
With rapid industrialization, the accumulation and contamination of heavy metal(loid)s in soil often has occurred. However, the accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in soil in non-industrial and tourist cities with high population densities is not well ...

Adsorption of heavy metals by road deposited solids [PDF]
The research study discussed in the paper investigated the adsorption/desorption behaviour of heavy metals commonly deposited on urban road surfaces, namely, Zn, Cu, Cr and Pb, for different particle size ranges of solids. The study outcomes, based on field studies and batch experiments, confirmed that road deposited solids particles contain a ...
