Lichens and Bromeliads as Bioindicators of Heavy Metal Deposition in Ecuador

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
We evaluated heavy metal deposition in Parmotrema arnoldii and Tillandsia usneoides in response to air pollution in Loja city, Ecuador. We assessed heavy metal (cadmium, copper, manganese, lead and zinc) content in these organisms at nine study sites ...

Atmospheric heavy metal deposition in the Copenhagen area

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution (1970), 1978
Atmospheric dry and wet deposition (bulk precipitation) of the heavy metals Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, V and Fe over the Copenhagen area was measured by sampling in plastic funnels from 17 stations during a twelve-month period.

Adsorption of heavy metals by road deposited solids [PDF]

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2013
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 ...

Analysis of heavy metals in road-deposited sediments [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytica Chimica Acta, 2006
Road-deposited sediments were analysed for heavy metal concentrations at three different landuses (residential, industrial, commercial) in Queensland State, Australia. The sediments were collected using a domestic vacuum cleaner which was proven to be highly efficient in collecting sub-micron particles.

Input Flux and the Risk of Heavy Metal(Loid) of Agricultural Soil in China: Based on Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity from 2000 to 2021

open access: yesLand, 2023
Identifying the current status of the heavy metal(loid) input of agricultural soils is vital for the soil ecological environment of agricultural-producing areas. Most previous studies have typically carried been out in small regions with limited sampling

Determination of heavy metal deposition in the county of Obrenovac (Serbia) using mosses as bioindicators: I. Aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), and boron (B) [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2005
In the present study, the deposition of three heavy metals (Al, As and B) in the county of Obrenovac (Serbia) is determined using four moss taxa (Bryum argenteum, Bryum capillare, Brachythecium sp., and Hypnum cupressiforme) as bioindicators ...

Source Apportionment of Heavy Metals in Wet Deposition in a Typical Industry City Based on Multiple Models

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
Handan city as a transportation hub in North China, air quality ranks at the bottom all year round, causing environmental pollution that has aroused widespread concern. In order to explore the pollution characteristics and main sources of heavy metals in

Atmospheric Deposition Of Heavy Metals In Toronto [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Atmospheric deposition rates of heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were determined from July 2009−December 2010 in downtown Toronto. Atmospheric deposition samples were collected using samplers with plastic, glass and water surfaces from two rooftops (15 m and 59 m above ground) in the city core of Toronto.
