Using corticols lichens as biosensors in the monitoring of environmental pollution with heavy metals

Abstract

We performed comparative studies of analytic- synthetic resulting data on concentrations of heavy metals bio-accumulate in the tissue due lichens synthetic environment pollutant single system, Cd or Zn or double system solutions pollutants Cd and Zn 2, or Pb and Zn. It has developed a method for determining the degree of accumulation of heavy metals in the tissue corticols lichens; and technical work on the monitoring of heavy metal pollution of the environment by using cortocols lichens.They performed comparative studies on concentrations of heavy metals bio-accumulate in the tissue of lichens with data reported by agencies in recent years Environmental Protection on the amount of metals Cd, Ni, Pb in the atmosphere .These lichens have classified sites studied by the characteristics of bioaccumulation of metals of lichens Parrmelia spp. in average pollution: very low, low, medium, high, compared to metal bioaccumulation characteristics of the respective Reserve lichens Iron Gates. Based on data obtained will prepare a correlation Index of air quality in geographical areas of interest with the presence of corticols lichens specific area.
