Pylaisia polyantha moss growing near intensive traffic in Geležinis Vilkas street at Vingis Park (Vilnius) was selected as an indicator of environmental pollution. Two models were applied for the study: the Gaussian plume model – for zinc emission from automobiles calculation and mathematical model – for recalculating the zinc emission from transport to zinc concentration in moss. Moss samples were collected during spring, summer and autumn. There were no significant changes in Zn concentrations between these periods. Zn emission dispersion from pollution source was calculated only for one vehicle, in order to reach relationships between environmental conditions and dispersion of Zn emission from vehicle exhaust fumes pipe. It was detected that the concentration of Zn tends to decrease with the distance from the pollution source. It was observed that there was a strong relationship between wind speed and Zn concentration – the slower the wind speed, the higher concentration of zinc in moss.

The aim of the carried out research was passive and active biomonitoring of woodlands in the Opole province. Pleurozium schreberi mosses were used during the research, in which the following heavy metals concentrations were determined: Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb. Concentrations were determined with absorption atomic spectrometry (AAS). On the basis of the carried out research, concentrations of heavy metals in moss samples used in the passive and active biomonitoring methods were compared. The obtained results indicate that Pleurozium schreberi mosses can be successfully used in both passive and active biomonitoring, however, these methods should not be used interchangeably in a defined study area. On the basis of carried out research it was determined that the applied biomonitoring methods can be supplementary.

The study of area is located on the middle Roztocze aorund Tomaszów Lubelski in the South-East part of Poland. This is an area of exceptional natural, undualting, hilly terrain, covered with coniferous forests with a mixture of fir and beech with a relatively low population density. The collected subsoil and moss samples were tested using microanalysis and Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrocsopy (ICP-OES) methods. The results of these analyses show interesting sediments (e.g. limestones, sandy limestones, gaize and sands) of Cretaceous, Neogene and Pleistocene periods and moss (Brachythecium salebrosum) with a relatively low content of heavy metals. These results indicate that in this area the environment is relatively clean.

Celem przeprowadzonych badań była ocena zanieczyszczenia występującego wzdłuż linii kolejowej zlokalizowanej na obrzeżach Warszawy, poprzez określenie zawartości wybranych metali ciężkich w wierzchniej warstwy gleby i mchu (Pleurozium schreberi). Badania zostały przeprowadzone w południowej części Warszawy (centralna Polska) w trzech punktach pomiarowych: przed przejazdem kolejowym, i za przejazdem w kierunku północnym. Próbki gleby i mchu zostały pobrane w każdego punktu w odległościach 1, 10, 20 i 30 m od linii kolejowej. Oznaczenia zawartości metali ciężkich wykonano metodą spektroskopii absorpcji atomowej (ASA). Spośród analizowanych punktów najwyższą zawartość Cu, Zn, Ni i Pb w glebie odnotowano w odległości 1 m od szlaku kolejowego. Odczyn (pH) gleby miał najniższą wartość w odległości 30 m (punkt pomiarowy A i B) natomiast najwyższą w odległości 1 m, natomiast wartości EC były najwyższe w punkcie pomiarowym A (okolice stacji kolejowej). Maksymalne zawartości metali ciężkich (Cu, Zn, Ni) w mchu (Pleurozium schreberi) występowały w bezpośredniej bliskości szlaku kolejowego.

The purpose of the studies was to assess environmental contamination alongside railway lines in the suburbs of Warsaw by determining the concentrations of selected heavy metals in surface layer of soil as well as moss (Pleurozium schreberi). The studies were conducted in the southern part of Warsaw (central Poland) in three sampling points: before the railway station, and after the station to the northbound. Soil and moss samples were taken from each of these sites at distances of 1, 10, 20 and 30 m from the railroad. Heavy metals were analyzed using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The highest Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb contents in soil were found 1 m from the railroad at each of the analyzed sites. pH was lowest at 30 m (sampling points A and B), and highest at 1 m whilst EC value was highest in sampling point A (near railway station). Maximum contents of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni) in Pleurozium schreberi moss were most often present in the direct proximity of the railroad tracks.

The goal of the paper was to define the phytoindication ability of selected plant species in the conditions of the impact of traffic on the environment. The contents of the following trace metals were analysed: Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn in three plant species: moss Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt., dandelion Taraxacum officianale F. H. Wigg. and in Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) H. Karst alongside the communication route Kraków-Zakopane. The plant samples (green parts of moss, leaves of dandelion, and two year old needles of common spruce) were taken in seven transects perpendicular to the road in the following distances from the edge of the road: 5 m, 10 m, 50 m and 100 m. The moss Pleurozium schreberi turned out to be the best indicator among the tested plant species because it accumulated trace metals in the highest concentrations. In the leaves of the dandelion lower concentrations of metals were found, while the lowest ones were in the needles of the spruce.

Celem pracy była ocena zdolności indykacyjnych wybranych roślin wskaźnikowych znajdujących się pod wpływem drogowych zanieczyszczeń komunikacyjnych. Oznaczono zawartości następujących metali śladowych: Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn w trzech gatunkach roślin: mchu rokietniku pospolitym Pleurozium schreberi, mniszku pospolitym Taraxacum officianale i w świerku pospolitym Picea abies pobranych wzdłuż drogi Kraków – Zakopane. Próbki roślin (zielone części mchu, liście mniszka pospolitego oraz dwuletnie igły świerka pospolitego) pobrane zostały w obrębie transeptów rozmieszczonych prostopadle do drogi w odległości 5, 10, 50 i 100 m od jej krawędzi. Rokietnik pospolity Pleurozium schreberi okazał się najlepszym indykatorem, bowiem kumulował największe ilości badanych metali. Niższe koncentracje metali stwierdzono w liściach mniszka pospolitego, a najmniejsze w igłach świerka.

Moss (Pleurozium schreberi) and soil samples collected in 2009 in Bory Stobrawskie forest were used to study the transfer factor (TFCs) and aggregated transfer factor (Tag) of radiocesium from forest soil to moss. This investigation also included determination of 40K activity, pH, conductivity and organic matter content in soil. The mean 137Cs activities were 179 Bq/kg d.m. in soil samples and 203 Bq/kg d.m. in moss. The TFCs of 137Cs from soil to moss was varied in the range from 0.1 to 3.3. The mean surface activity was 11.2 kBq/m2. The Tag values were limited in the range from 0.001 to 0.058. Additionally the TFK values for 40K were computed. It was found that the main contribution of 137Cs activity in environment originates from soil and activities of 137Cs and 40K were usually higher in moss than in soil. It can be supposed that the 137Cs isotope migrates to moss from its surrounding. Among others, tatistically significant correlation between TF of 137Cs and activity of 40K in soil was found. Low activity of 40K in soil is conducive to the transfer of cesium to moss. The organic matter content also affects transport of cesium and potassium between moss and soil.

Mech (Pleurozium schreberi) i próbki gleby pobranej w 2009 roku w Borach Stobrawskich wykorzystywano do badania współczynnika transferu (TFCs) i zbiorczego współczynnika transferu (Tag) radiocezu z gleb leśnych do mchu. Określono także aktywność 40K, pH, konduktywność i zawartość materii organicznej w próbkach gleby. Średnia aktywność 137Cs wynosiła 179 Bq/kg s.m. w próbkach gleby i 203 Bq/kg s.m. w próbkach mchu. Współczynnik transferu TFCs z gleby do mchu zmieniał się w zakresie od 0,1 do 3,3. Średnia aktywność powierzchniowa wynosiła 11,2 kBq/m2. Wartości Tag mieściły się w zakresie od 0,001 do 0,058. Zostały także obliczone wartości TFK dla 40K. Stwierdzono, że główny udział aktywności 137Cs w środowisku pochodzi z gleby, a aktywności 137Cs i 40K były zwykle większe w mchu niż w glebie. Znaleziono istotną statystycznie korelację pomiędzy TFCs i aktywnością 40K w glebie. Sugeruje to, że mała zawartość potasu w glebie sprzyja przenoszeniu cezu do mchu. Zawartości materii organicznej również wpływają na transport cezu i potasu pomiędzy mchem i glebą.
