Biomonitoring von organischen Luftschadstoffen mit Pflanzenblättern: Temperaturabhängige Sorption und Konzentrationseffekte

In the paper some remarks concerning results in biomonitoring of organic air pollutants with plants are made. Temperature dependent sorption and concentration effects are the two most important factors leading to difficulties in data interpretation and comparing different studies. Using results of various studies in which the PAH accumulation in plants was investigated some conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made for the further study and use of plants as biomonitors.
