Using Bio-Monitors to Determine the Mercury Air Pollution in a Former Mining Area

Using Bio-Monitors to Determine the Mercury Air Pollution in a Former Mining Area

Total mercury air pollution was evaluated in the former mining area of Gelnica (Slovakia) using tree bark, mosses (<i>Climacium</i> sp., <i>Pleurosium</i> sp.), and lichen (<i>Pseudevernia</i> sp.). Samples were collected (tree bark) and exposed (moss and lichen b...
