Plant bioindicators as a tool for evaluation of agrarian ecosystems
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. In addition to alfalfa, rape, and cereals, included among the EPA bioindicators, stinging nettle, corn camomile, saltweed, and bindweed were sampled as typical representatives of dump vegetation. Further the contamination of browsing plants which forms a food basket basis for game animals was evaluated. Results of HRGC/ECD analyses unambiguously demonstrated that failure in safe disposal of waste materials containing PCBs can result in a significant contamination of all compartments of the ecosystem, in particular of the hydrosphere and pedosphere. Some species of dump vegetation (singing nettle, corn, camomile, saltweed) have proved to be excellent bioindicators, particularly for areas where cu
