Abstract The Minamata Convention on Mercury (Hg) requires improved atmospheric Hg monitoring and characterization of sources. Here we demonstrate how a network passive air samplers (PASs) can be used cost effectively to determine the spatial distribution gaseous estimate emissions at contaminated sites. Gaseous concentrations were mapped around former mine in Monte Amiata district Italy using simultaneous deployments PASs across local regional scale grids. concentration maps help visualize...
Bio-stimulants are showing growing success and gradually replacing synthetic fertilizers in agriculture. Wood distillate (WD), also known as wood vinegar or pyroligneous acid, is a by-product of biomass pyrolysis increasingly used bio-stimulant for crop production. This study investigated whether weekly foliar applications 0.25% 0.50% WD have differential effect on the chlorophyll sugar content well production lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Moreover, additional beneficial from addition...
This study evaluates the effects of toxic metal pollution in highly contaminated Sarno River (South Italy), by using aquatic moss Leptodictyum riparium bags at 3 representative sites river. Biological were assessed bioaccumulation, ultrastructural changes, oxidative stress, as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity, well Heat Shock Proteins 70 (HSP70s) induction. The results showed that L. is a valuable bioindicator for water ecosystem,...
The interpretation of lichen bioaccumulation data is paramount importance in environmental forensics and decision-making processes. By implementing basic ideas underlying previous interpretative scales, new dimensionless, species-independent “bioaccumulation scales” for native transplanted lichens are proposed. Methodologically consistent element concentration datasets were populated with from biomonitoring studies relying on lichens. scale was built up by analyzing the distribution ratios...
Mercury emitted by anthropogenic and natural sources occurs in the atmosphere mostly gaseous elemental form, which has a long lifetime tropical temperate regions. Once deposited terrestrial aquatic ecosystems metal is partly re-emitted into air, thus assuming characteristics of global pollutants such as persistent volatile chemicals. In polar regions, during after sunrise, photochemically driven oxidation Hg reactive halogens may result areas greatly enhanced deposition. concentrations...
Tracing emission sources and transformations of atmospheric mercury with Hg stable isotopes depends on the ability to collect amounts sufficient for reliable quantification. Commonly employed active sampling methods require power long pumping times, which limits deploy in remote locations at high spatial resolution can lead compromised traps. In order overcome these limitations, we conducted field laboratory experiments assess preservation isotopic composition during gaseous elemental (GEM)...
