Abstract

The study aims to assess the identification of the specific species of plants for selection of certain plant species and utilization of selected one�s in experimental biomonitoring studies.The purpose of the proposed study was to develop and apply new techniques, methods and methodologies for air quality assessing in the context of climate change and updating of international environmental studys. The novelty of the active biomonitoring method using plants is an innovative research area for the National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology in terms of the use of sentinel species. The first stage research activity was aimed to identify plant species with specific response to certain environmental pollutants, in our case, ozone. By exposing higher plants (from the Solanaceae family) to various environmental conditions, a direct impact measurement of ground-level ozone was considered - as an indicator of environmental pollution (air) - there was a significant difference relationship between soil level ozone variation and foliar necrosis.

Highlights

  • The study aims to assess the identification of the specific species of plants for selection of certain plant species and utilization of selected one’s in experimental biomonitoring studies.The purpose of the proposed study was to develop and apply new techniques, methods and methodologies for air quality assessing in the context of climate change and updating of international environmental studys

  • Plant species were used to detect and monitor air pollutants correlated with foliar necrosis produces by a high ozone level [7]

  • The fact that the number of stomata has increased on the foliar surface in accordance with the degree of pollution it has been revealed from the observations made in the other samples (P2) Nicotiana tabacum and (P4) Petunia hibrida
