Abstract:

I licheni, una simbiosi tra un fungo e alghe verdi e/o cianobatteri, sono privi di uno strato cuticolare e possono perciò assorbire nutrienti e contaminanti tramite deposizioni atmosferiche, sia umide che secche. Per questo motivo sono tra gli organismi più spesso utilizzati quali biomonitor di inquinamento atmosferico, in particolare di metalli pesanti. Negli ultimi anni vengono però sempre più spesso utilizzati anche come biomonitor di composti organici persistenti quali gli idrocarburi policiclici aromatici (IPA).

Abstract:

Abstract The thesis consists of regional forest condition studies, using different biomonitors. Heavy metal deposition was investigated in 1985–2000 on the basis of the heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, V, Zn) in mosses in Finland. A comparison on the suitability of mosses, epiphytic lichens and pine bark as biomonitors of heavy metals was also carried. Bark was also used to study the dispersal of emissions from the Kola Peninsula into northern Finland. The occurrence of green algae on conifers in Finland was investigated in 1985 and 1995.

Abstract:

During the last few decades, various techniques for using lichens as biomonitors have been developed for monitoring air pollution and forest ecosystem health. Lichens have been used effectively to determine the dispersion of heavy metals emitted by industrial point-sources; however the approach has not been commonly used in Australia. This thesis aimed to determine the effectiveness of using a lichen biomonitoring approach to measure the heavy metal pollutants emitted from coal-fired power stations and related industries in Collie, south-western Australia, an area with concern over poor air qu

Abstract:

Phytomanagement refers to a group of techniques which use plants to reduce content or toxicity of heavy metals in soils. This thesis focuses on metal phytostabilization, which aims at reducing metal bioavailability in soil. Phytostabilization can occur either in roots or in soils. The first requires the uptake of pollutants and their stable accumulation in root tissues (in-planta phytostabilization), the second insolubilization of metals in soil to prevent plant uptake (ex-planta phytostabilization). For this thesis both these aspects were explored. In-planta phytostabilization experiments ai

Abstract:

Industrial and urban activities in the Leeds catchment of the River Aire have caused the widespread dispersal and contamination by a variety of pollutants, including heavy metals. This contamination is reflected by enhanced metal concentrations in the sediments and soils of the river and floodplain. The cycling of sediment and associated metals in the fluvial environment is highly related to hydrological, geomorphological and chemical phenomena. The main research objective is to investigate quantitatively the dispersal, storage and remobilisation of heavy metals in the Leeds reach of the River

Rapid urbanisation and resulting continuous increase in traffic has been recognised as key factors in the contribution of increased pollutant loads to urban stormwater and in turn to receiving waters. Urbanisation primarily increases anthropogenic activities and the percentage of impervious surfaces in urban areas. These processes are collectively responsible for urban stormwater pollution. In this regard, urban traffic and land use related activities have been recognised as the primary pollutant sources. This is primarily due to the generation of a range of key pollutants such as solids, heav

However, the movement of Zn and Cd ions across several biological membranes involves a wide range of transport systems, each characterized by a specific selectivity. Although divergent results have been obtained, they suggest that Zn-independent pathways for Cd translocation in plants could be possible. The pr

One of the key challenges of contemporary condensed matter physics is to understand how the large variety of states of matter arises in electron systems.

In recent years, a series of new, emergent phenomena have added more exotic states to the list of known behaviour in metallic systems, and some of them defy the standard descriptions of 'normal' metals, known as
