- Abstract
- In the northern part of Pisa Province (Tuscany, Italy), the use of lichens
as both airborne trace element biomonitors and air quality bioindicators
is described. The following elements were analysed in Xanthoria parietina:
As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, V, Zn and Hg, and the results are compared with those
we previously obtained in Livorno Province (Tuscany) using the same lichen
species. The results identify spots of different environmental metal
contamination and air quality. Median values of Pb, V and Ni
concentrations were much lower than those of Livorno Province, with
maximum values even nine times lower. Arsenic contamination was also
lower, while Cd, Hg and Zn levels were similar in the two areas. In Pisa
Province, the highest levels of contamination were recorded for Zn, Pb, Cr
and Ni, and a degree of agreement was found between air quality and metal
concentrations in lichens. The air quality in Pisa Province is better than
in Livorno Province, even if the different climatic and orographic
features of the two areas may influence the presence of lichen species and
thus an assessment of air quality. (literal)
