Assessment of trace metal levels in some moss and lichen samples collected from near the motorway in Turkey

Lichen Diversity Value and Heavy Metal Concentrations in Mosses Around the Lignite Power Plants ‘Kosova

“…After being cleaned and dried, one gram of moss for each sample was burned in the temperature 450 °C for three hours. Heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, CO and Ni) were determined by standard methods using AAS -atomic absorption spectroscopy (UNICAM 929 spectrometer) (Mendil et al, 2009 …”

The Application of the Potentiometric Stripping Analysis to Determine Traces of M(II) Metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) in Bioinorganic and Similar Materials

“…It is easily adsorbed to other minerals and so its mobility is relatively small. When the soil becomes more acidic, Pb is released and then becomes available to the plants (Kaličanin et al, 2005;Mendil et al, 2009). …”

Selective extraction of chromium(VI) using a leaching procedure with sodium carbonate from some plant leaves, soil and sediment samples

“…atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) can be only used to determine total chromium, and hence separation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) is usually carried out before their detections [10][11][12][13][14]. Different separation and preconcentration methods have been employed in speciation studies of chromium [15][16][17][18].…”
