A preliminary SRXRF study on moss as air pollution monitor
In an attempt to explore mechanisms of moss as air pollution biomonitor
moss samples were exposed for one month at Shanghai Iron and Steel Research Institute (SISRI
as a pollution site) and Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP
as a control site) simultaneously. Elemental distributions in micro areas of the leaf and stem
and the whole moss tissue as well
were determined using synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) method. The contents of metal elements of Pb
Cu
Fe
Ni
Mn
Zn
Ca
K in the leaf surface and stem slice were obtained. The re- sults showed that the metallic ions were not distributed uniformly in the polluted samples. In particular
K
Ni
Fe and Pb were concentrated in the leaf apex and the intermediate rib. In samples of the air pollution
excessive Pb was ad- sorbed and deposited in the leaf
causing serious damage to the plant growth and their microstructure and inhibiting the plant’s normal absorption to nutritive elements
