Statistical analysis of heavy metal concentration in moss and soil as indicator of industrial pollution. International Journal of Science, Environment and Technology, 3 (3). pp. 762-775. ISSN 2278-3687 (2014)



Abstract

The use of living organism, especially the lower plant as an indicator of the environmental pollution has been recently considered as the complementary to the traditional monitoring techniques. This study was conducted to evaluate the levels of the selected heavy metals deposited in the chosen industrial area and to identify its possible contributors. Mosses and topsoil were collected surrounding the industrial area, only the youngest segments (greenish part) of Syrrhopodonconfertus species were selected, which represented the last three years tissue's production.
