Pollution from heavy metals has increased in recent decades and has become an important
concern for environmental agencies. Arsenic, cadmium, copper, mercury and lead are …

Mosses were proved as an ideal and reliable biomonitor as well as an indicator of
atmospheric trace metal pollution. They are used as model indicator species of air pollution …

The effects of the heavy metals copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) on the chlorophyll
content of two mosses Thuidium delicatulum (L.) Mitt. and T. sparsifolium (Mitt.) Jaeg., as …

The main objective of this study was to unravel the chemical reactions and processes
dictating the potential bioavailability of vanadium (V). In environmental solutions V exists in …

Microplastics, which are plastic particles< 5 mm, have been found throughout the
environment. However, few studies have focused on their transport via atmospheric …

This investigation was undertaken to determine the atmospheric pollution with heavy metals
due to copper mining Bučim near Radoviš, the Republic of Macedonia. Moss samples …

Environmental health indicators (EHIs) are applied in a variety of research and decision-
making settings to gauge the health consequences of environmental hazards, to summarize …

The possibility of using moss (Funaria hygrometrica), immobilized in a polysilicate matrix as
substrate for speciation of Cr (III) and Cr (VI) in various water samples has been …

Atmospheric particulates with elevated trace metals may have a serious impact on human
health. Biomonitoring using moss is a well-developed technique employed in many parts of …

In this study an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) method has been applied to
the analysis of some major and minor elements (K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Sr, Pb and Zn) in four …
