In the present study species like Mangifera indica, Linn., Cassia fistula, Linn., and Eucalyptus hybrid were exposed to different air pollution load for short duration (active biomonitoring). Variation in biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, protein, soluble sugar free amino acid, ascorbic acid, nitrate reductase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in the leaves were found to be pollution ...

lichen species (hypogymnia physodes and evernia prunastri) were used for biomonitoring thepossible air pollution with heavy metals in the vicinity of copper mine in the eastern part of the republic ofmacedonia. the contents of 18 elements were analysed by icp-aes and etaas techniques. for dataprocessing basic statistical methods and multivariate exploratory (factor and cluster analysis) techniq...

the present study was focused upon the assessment of acetyl-cholinesterase (ache) activity in the digestive gland (main metabolic center) and foot (highly innervated organ) of the green garden snail, cantareus apertus (born, 1778), exposed to different nominal dietary concentrations of pb (25 and 2500 mg pb/kg), cd (10 and 100 mg cd/kg) and their combination (25 mg pb + 10 mg cd/kg and 2500 mg ...

Environmental pollution is a growing concern and, more importantly, pollution of the aquatic ecosystem is alarming. Bivalves are commonly used as bio-indicators of marine pollution. In the present study the Perna viridis was exposed to cadmium, copper, lead and zinc concentrations under longterm chronic toxicity for the estimation of biochemical biomarkers. Significant differences in TBARS leve...
