Guidelines for biomonitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs), using lichens and aquatic mosses--a review.

摘要: During the last decades, awareness regarding persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has become a cutting-edge topic, due to their toxicity, bioaccumulation persistency in environment. Monitoring of PCDD/Fs PAHs air water proven be insufficient capture deposition effects these compounds biota. To overcome this limitation, environmental biomonitoring using lichens aquatic mosses, have aroused as promising tools. The main aim work is provide review of: i) factors that influence interception accumulation POPs by lichens; ii) how bryophytes can used track different pollution sources and; iii) biomonitors contribute health studies. This will allow designing set guidelines followed when assess POP pollution.
