The Use of Tree Barks to Monitor Traffic Related Air Pollution: A Case Study in São Paulo–Brazil

The analysis of chemical elements in the barks of trees is an alternative procedure to access spatial heterogeneity of traffic related air pollution. However, the role of tree species in the characterization of the variability of airborne pollution is poorly known. We present an observational study...
