Biomonitoring of air pollution in Prague using tree leaves

Urban areas are significant sources of various types of pollutants, especially particles. Dust particles are, due to their size and chemical composition, the major environmental problem. This study monitored the dust particles concentration in the air during two years at the traffic loaded roads of...
