Aleppo Pine Bark as a Biomonitor of Atmospheric Pollution in the Arid Environment of Jordan
Monitoring of atmospheric pollution using Aleppo bark as a bioindicator was carried out in the industrial area surrounding the Al-Hussein thermal power station and the oil refinery at Al-Hashimyeh…
Assessment of metal air pollution by epiphytic lichens: the incidence of crustal materials and of the possible uptake from substrate barks
The amounts of Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn in the epiphytic lichenParmelia sulcata Tayl. and in surf ace soils of Mt. Amiata (centrai ltaly) were measured. Using Al as a reference element, the data were…
Assessment of Heavy Metals Concentration in the Soil and Crops Grown around Dumpsites
Quick Response Code Abstract: This study assessed the levels of heavy metals (Mn, Cr, Pb, Cd, and Fe) in two dumpsites and control in Surakarta. Specific soil properties and the level of metals in…
Deposition of airborne elements from Sembule steel mill surveyed by moss analysis
The local contamination of airborne elements caused by the Sembule steel works was studied by the analysis of Mg, Ca, Fe, Ni, Pb and Cd accumulated in transplanted moss. The concentrations of heavy…
Heavy metal phytoremediation by Commelina benghalensis (L) and Cynodon dactylon (L) growing in Urban stream sediments
Urbanisation and industrialization lead to heavy metal pollution in the Nakivubo drainage ecosystem. The objectives of this study were to determine heavy metal concentrations and distribution in…
Distribution of copper smelter emissions in Southeastern Arizona — Using honey mesquite as a bioindicator
Honey mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), a representative species of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, was studied as a possible bioindicator for industrial smelter pollution. Samples from soils, leaves and…

Bio-monitoring studies on the effect of lead in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) in the arid ecosystem of Kuwait
TLDR
Lead levels were determined in the unwashed and washed leaves, bark and fruit of dates and in soil from 12 locations in Kuwait's arid environment and the Pb level in surface soil was found to be the highest amongst the other samples.
