“…Several studies have reported that high quantities of metals in lichens in urban and/or industrial areas were associated to the local traffic density (Boonpeng et al, 2017b;Guidotti et al, 2009;Koz et al, 2010;Olowoyo et al, 2011;Sorbo et al, 2008). A number of studies have been carried out along highways in rural and natural areas to clarify and assess the impact of road traffic on atmospheric metal pollution (Liu et al, 2018;Yemets et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2019). The previously mentioned study clearly suggests that motor vehicles can increase the amount of metals in areas with high traffic due to fossil fuel combustion, tire wear, brake abrasion, lubricating oils and vehicle component wear (Sorbo et al, 2008).…”

“…Motor vehicles passing through these areas could affect both biodiversity and the purity of the air (Liu et al, 2018;Nascimbene et al, 2014). Several pollutants are released from motor vehicles, such as heavy metals (Koz et al, 2010;Yemets et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2019). They can pollute the air and are toxic to living organisms, especially sensitive species such as lichens, bryophytes and aerial plants, leading to biodiversity losses (Spellerberg, 1998).…”

Motor vehicles passing through natural areas could contribute to the air pollution that most likely causes biodiversity losses and decreases air quality. This study assessed the impact of tourism on atmospheric metal pollution in Khao Yai National Park (KYNP), Thailand. Native thalli of the epiphytic lichen Parmotrema tinctorum were collected during the rainy period at a total of eleven sampling sites: three sites in forested (no traffic), four sites in accommodation (low-moderate traffic) and four sites in parking (moderate-high traffic) areas in KYNP. Nine traffic-related metals, including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Sb, V and Zn, were detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentrations of most metals did not show significant differences between the higher traffic intensity areas and the no traffic area, and the concentrations of the metals were in the range of their background concentrations. Only Cr and V, metals related to motor vehicles, were identified at the accommodation sites at significantly higher concentrations (Cr=3.4 µg/g, V=1.33 µg/g) than their baseline concentrations (Cr=1.4 µg/g, V=0.96 µg/g). These two metals have adverse effects on humans, plants, lichens and other organisms. Bioaccumulation ratios (B ratios) indicated that most metals at most sampling sites did not bioaccumulate. No metal demonstrated high or severe bioaccumulation. This result suggests that the impact of tourism on atmospheric metal pollution in the rainy period at the KYNP was modest. It also affirms the ability of lichen as an effective tool for assessing atmospheric contamination in natural areas.

“…Según múltiples estudios, los procesos fisiológicos del talo liquénico son muy sensibles a las concentraciones de contaminantes, acumulando una amplia gama de estos y respondiendo de manera diferente según el agente contaminante y las condiciones estacionales, ya que en periodos secos, los líquenes tienden a concentrar estos contaminantes en sus tejidos, mientras que, en los periodos lluviosos, tienden a filtrarse de los mismos, logrando un equilibrio dinámico a muchos de los contaminantes que están expuestos Massimi et al, 2021). Considerando la amplia distribución de líquenes, su adaptabilidad a diferentes entornos, y su capacidad de acumular diversos agentes contaminantes, múltiples especies liquénicas se han utilizado como biondicadores de las condiciones atmosféricas y la contaminación en gran variedad de áreas (Timoteo Cornejo, 2022), las cuales incluyen: áreas industriales contaminadas (Pinho et al, 2017;Boonpeng et al, 2018;Malaspina et al, 2018;Massimi et al, 2019;Rola et al, 2019;Serrano et al, 2019;Klapstein et al, 2020;Massimi et al, 2021), centros urbanos con importantes fuentes de contaminación (Varela et al, 2018;Manninen, 2018;Marié et al, 2018;Massimi et al, 2019;Parviainen et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2019;Correa-Ochoa et al, 2020;Massimi et al, 2021), áreas naturales con influencia de tráfico vehicular elevado (Huang et al, 2019), áreas cercanas a vertederos (Paoli et al, 2018;Sujetovienė et al, 2019), áreas naturales y boscosas con perturbación antropogénica (Agnan et al, 2017;Benítez et al, 2018;Kłos et al, 2018;Vannini et al, 2021) y áreas con influencia natural y urbana, donde se midió el nivel de antropopresión (Lucheta et al, 2019;Dresler et al, 2021).…”

El planeta se enfrenta a una triple emergencia medioambiental ligada al cambio climático, la contaminación y cambios en la biodiversidad, las cuales, suponen una seria amenaza para la humanidad, causando casi 9 millones de muertes prematuras por año. Es necesario identificar las herramientas y los actores que posean el alcance y las competencias, respectivamente, para ejecutar la teoría y la práctica en la evaluación, corrección, control y prevención de los retos que engloban esta triple emergencia medioambiental. Dentro del grupo de actores interdisciplinares que han abordado estos retos medioambientales, los biólogos se destacan por sus competencias en el estudio científico de los seres vivos y los procesos naturales que siguen todos los seres vivos, integrando ramas interdisciplinarias como la química y la física. En este Fórum exploramos el rol investigativo del biólogo en biondicadores de la salud ambiental, referenciando ejemplos relevantes de biólogos que buscan medir la salud y deterioro ambiental de los ecosistemas através de los datos recogidos en los ambientes acuáticos, atmosféricos o en el suelo, mediante bioindicadores enfocados a detectar exposición, a determinar consecuencias biológicas de carácter adverso, o para evaluar cambios en procesos de bioremediación.

“…Moss and lichen transplantation in the polluted sites as an airborne biomonitoring method is widely used [ 14 ]. This method has several advantages comparing in situ methods, such as low cost, opportunity to choose exposure time, and monitoring sites [ 15 ]. Moss and lichen taxa selection depends on the opportunities in different geographical conditions.…”

Thirty soil samples were taken, and the same number of moss (Dicranum scoparium) and lichen (Pseudevernia furfuracea) bags were exposed to detect environmental pollution in the former mining area Nižná Slaná. Soil and ambient air are influenced by hazardous substances, which leak from old mining bodies due to insufficient or completely missing reclamation. The total content of the risk elements (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Sb, Se, Pb, Zn) was determined in soil, moss, and lichen samples and in the bodies of Leccinum pseudoscabrum. Biological (soil enzymes—urease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, fluorescein diacetate (FDA), ß-glucosidase) and chemical properties (pH) were determined in soil samples. Contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination (Cd), pollution load index (PLI), and enrichment factor (EF) were used for soil and relative accumulation factor (RAF) for air quality evaluation. Contamination factor values show serious pollution by Cd, Fe, Hg, and Mn. Pollution load index confirmed extremely high pollution almost at all evaluated areas. Soil enzymes reacted to soil pollution mostly by decreasing their activity. Mosses and lichens show differences in the accumulation abilities of individual elements. Regular consumption of L. pseudoscabrum would provide the dose of Cd and Hg below the limit of provisional weekly intake. Based on the bioaccumulation index (BAF) values, L. pseudoscabrum can be characterized as an Hg accumulator.
