Index of Atmospheric Purity reflects the ecological conditions better than the environmental pollution in the Carpathian forests

Abstract: The Index of Atmospheric Purity (IAP) is a popular tool used for the assessment of air quality in polluted urban areas, on the basis of phytosociological data of epiphytic lichen communities. We hypothesized that this indicator could also be used in less polluted forest areas to determine the quality of ecological conditions for lichens. The aim of the present study was to verify the use of IAP method in the assessment of environmental pollution, and alternatively for the assessment of general ecological condi… Show more

“…Despite the distance, it is practically the first significant elevation of the terrain in the south-east direction from pollution emitters. Moreover, the Gorce Mountains have been already the object of interest of researchers dealing with the state of the environment since the end of 1980s, due to the noted air pollution with dust, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides which was probably one of the causes of changes in biocenoses, including the dying out of mountain spruce forests (Godzik, 1991 ; Niemtur, 1997 ; Tanona & Czarnota, 2020 ).…”

“…For thousands of years, the atmospheric environment has been and will always be one of the important components of the natural environment on which all living things in the world depend [1]. Air pollution is still a key link in ecological environment pollution, and air quality directly affects people's physical and mental health [2]. The goal of research and development of atmospheric quality monitoring system is to collect regional atmospheric environmental quality data in real time, to establish corresponding information database, and to make statistics, processing, analysis, and automatic drawing of atmospheric environmental situation graphics, for the reference of comprehensive atmospheric environmental management [3].…”
