Biomonitoring of coastal regions of So Paulo State, Brazil, using mussels Perna perna
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
The marine environment is constantly affected by anthropic actions, with causes consequent degradation of the waters and marine biota by various discharges of xenobiotics. In the present study, the focus was the study of ...
Leaves of Lolium multiflorum 'Lema' and tropical tree species as biomonitors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2012)
This study extends the current knowledge regarding the use of plants for the passive accumulation of anthropogenic PAHs that are present in the atmospheric total suspended particles (TSP) in the tropics and sub-tropics. ...
Assessment of heavy metals in the particulate matter of two Brazilian metropolitan areas by using Tillandsia usneoides as atmospheric biomonitor
(2011)
Purpose The aims of this paper were to quantify the heavy metals (HM) in the air of different sites in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Salvador (SA) using Tillandsia usneoides (Bromeliaceae) as a biomonitor, and to study the ...
Magnetic mapping of air pollution in Tandil city (Argentina) using the lichen Parmotrema pilosum as biomonitor
(Elsevier Science, 2016-05)
The lichen Parmotrema pilosum is sensitive to pollution and it can live accumulating airborne pollutants for long time, such characteristic allows its use as biomonitor for environmental mapping in urban areas when this ...
Biomonitors of urban air pollution: Magnetic studies and SEM observations of corticolous foliose and microfoliose lichens and their suitability for magnetic monitoring
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
This study explored the suitability of available lichen species as air pollution biomonitors and assessed their potential for magnetic monitoring in cities. Several lichens on tree bark were collected in urban and industrial ...
An interval fuzzy model for magnetic biomonitoring using the specie Tillandsia recurvata L.
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Studies of magnetic monitoring for assessing air pollution have been proposed as alternative and complimentary of chemical methods. Such magnetic studies provide measurements at low cost and relative promptness. In this ...
Use of biomonitors for the identification of heavy metals emission sources
(Elsevier Science, 2012-09)
Heavy metals accumulation by Tillandsia capillaris was measured to identify their main emission sources in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. Samples of T. capillaris collected over three years at different sites were ...
