Active biomonitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by means of mosses.

J W Wegener1, M J van Schaik, H Aiking.   

Abstract

Spherical bags, packed with 20 g of peat moss (Sphagnum spp.), were exposed to ambient air at a distance of 1 km from a plant manufacturing electrodes for the production of aluminium, near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In these bags, the concentrations of six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined, and compared with the concentrations in moss bags that had been exposed in relatively clean areas. From the results it can be concluded that, in addition to their useful application for biomonitoring of heavy metals, mosses can be applied in active biomonitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air.
