Plant Bioindicators as a Tool for Evaluation of Agrarian Ecosystem

Original language description

Concentrations of indicator PCB congeners were determined in plant samples collected in an area where a paint factory using PCBs as primary materials had operated in the seventies and eighties. The sampling sites included recultivated legal waste dumps and places of cleared illegal waste dumps. Results of HRGC/ECD analyses unambiguously demonstrated that failure in safe disposal of waste materials containing PCBs can result in a signifikant contamination of all compartments of the ecosystem, in particular of the hydrosphere and pedosphere. Some species of dump vegetation (singing nettle, corn camomile, orache) have proved to be exellent bioindicators, particularly for areas where cultured plants are not available.
