Assessment of traffic pollution by using mosses Entodon concinnus and Herpetineuron toccoae
Journal Title: Journal of Applied and Natural Science - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Lead pollution resulting from vehicular traffic in Chandigarh, India was assessed by using two pleurocarpic, ectohydric mosses (Entodon concinnus and Herpetineuron toccoae) collected from pollution free area in Kasauli. Of the two mosses tested for lead accumulation, E. concinnus was found to be more efficient than H. toccoae (50.3ppm vs 34.4ppm).
