“…Even small changes in the pollen genome can cause damage to plants and, consequently, a decrease in fertility. In addition to the genotoxic effects of emissions from traffic (Calzoni et al, 2006;Carneiro et al, 2011), the pollen test was also used to assess the genotoxic hazard in areas with increased radioactivity (Mičieta and Murín, 2007), for bioindication of pollution air near industrial zones and landfills (Mišík et al, 2007), as well as to detect the genotoxicity of an environment contaminated with heavy metals (Gorbov et al, 2015). Despite numerous studies, the influence of various factors on the pollen sterility in woody plants has not been adequately evaluated.…”

“…Pollen abortion assays are generally tested at smaller scales Micieta and Murín, 2007;Misík et al, 2007). Our results show the influence of emission sources at a distance of more than 1 km, and the risk of exposure is inversely proportional to distance from the main source, which is the high traffic.…”

“…Since then, studies have proved that pollen abortion is a simple and efficient marker of genotoxicity that may be employed in both passive (as in our case) and active biomonitoring . Pollen abortion assays also show an advantage in defining the presence of mutagenic compounds with potentially carcinogenic risks to human health (Micieta and Murín, 2007;Misík et al, 2007).…”
