Methodology for monitoring of air contamination in the vicinity of public roads by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the basis of their analysis on the surface of tree leaves
Maršík, Petr ; Kinderman, Pavel ; Vaněk, Tomáš
The methodology deals with the monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and applies a natural system of sedimentation of pollutants in local vegetation. According to the obtained results is possible to evaluate which of the used woody plants have higher capability to extract harmful substances such as PAH from the air and therefore should be preferred as a vegetation cover.
Phytoremediation of air - plans and reality
Vaněk, Tomáš ; Maršík, Petr ; Soudek, Petr
Results obtained so far indicate that selected plants can be effectively used to remove contaminants from the air, both horizontally and especially near sources of contamination, such as roads. When choosing plants, it is necessary to pay attention to their sorption capacities, as well as their ability to survive in contaminated sites, which are also exposed to other stresses such as lack of moisture and salinity.
