AB  - The most important environmental problems are caused by intensive industrial
activities, urbanization and population growth. The increase in air pollution resulting
from the expanding use of fossil energy sources and the growth in the manufacture
and use of chemicals has been accompanied by mounting public awareness of and
concern about detrimental effects on health and the environment. Anthropogenic
activities have greatly changed pollutant atmospheric concentrations and consequently,
their availability and cycling. Airborne lead (Pb) is a constituent of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), and as such it may be transported to great distances before
being removed in deposition processes. Here we review the application of plants in
(i) trace elements monitoring, (ii) biomonitoring of lead air pollution and (iii) identifying lead sources in the environment. The instrumental monitoring techniques lack
information on impact of atmospheric pollutants on the living systems and hence,
there has been an increasing interest in using indirect monitoring methods based on a
response of living organisms that may act as trace element bioaccumulators. Since
plants accumulate lead, as well as other trace elements, from the atmosphere, the
indirect air pollution monitoring, using plants has gained importance in the last
decades. Mosses, lichens, but also higher plants have been used for biomonitoring of
various pollutants, including lead. Lead isotopic studies may provide a convenient
approach for studying and tracing the sources of Pb pollution in different environmental compartments. The lead isotope approach for plant biomonitoring in source identification and biomonitoring species validity assessment has been discussed. It has
been shown that airborne Pb is the most important source of accumulated Pb in plants.
The overview of advantages using plants for lead air pollution monitoring is presented
in this paper, as well as the determination of lead sources in the environment.
