The application of monitoring techniques, to assess levels of heavy metals and metalloids, is possible using a variety of approaches. In particular the analysis of biological species as indicators of contamina-tion offers opportunity for immediate assessment of wide regions. This study allows investigating the potential of different biological indicators (terrestrial animals, plants, animal faces) for identifying the spatial distribution of a range of heavy metals and arsenic in contaminated and relatively pristine soil systems in Central and Southern Scotland. Correlation of selected analytes gave good linear relations but varied from element to element. The results obtained established woodlice, fern and sheep faces as suitable objects for further long-term moni-toring research, which can provide quantitative information on different pollutants in soils.

Aby ocenić zanieczyszczenie środowiska metalami ciężkimi i metaloidami, stosuje się różne techniki monitoringu. Analiza niektórych gatunków organizmów, tzw. bioindykatorów (wskaźników) zanieczyszczeń, daje możliwość szybkiej oceny stanu bardzo dużych obszarów. Zbadano możliwość wykorzystania wybranych indykatorów (organizmów żyjących w ziemi, roślin i odchodów zwierzęcych) do ustalenia, jak rozprzestrzeniają się metale ciężkie i arsen w glebach na terenach przemysłowych (kopalnianych) i terenach relatywnie nieskażonych w środkowej i południowej Szkocji. Korelacje pomiędzy wybranymi bioindykatorami a glebą były liniowe, chociaż różniły się w przy-padku poszczególnych analizowanych zanieczyszczeń. Uzyskane wyniki umożliwiają zastosowanie stonogi (Oniscus asellus), paproci czy też owczych odchodów jako odpowiednich bioindykatorów w przyszłym długoterminowym monitoringu środowiska.
